ABOUT BRADY
Brady Magruder is a multi-faceted theatrical artist that specializes in musical theatre and dramatic performance. He is based in Chicago, IL, working as a Non-Union actor for several different theatre companies including Sub Rosa Theatre Co., Edge of the Wood, and more. He aims to expand his talents into Shakespeare, comedy, and the wide world of Film and Television.
He is originally from Spokane, Washington, where he had performed in over 13 musicals throughout high school. His performance as Edward Bloom in Big Fish: The Musical earned him a 5th Avenue Theatre Award for Best Actor, as well as a 2019 National High School Musical Theatre "Jimmy" Award nomination. Following this, Brady pursued a BFA Acting degree at The Theatre School at DePaul University--Class of 2023. Today, he takes many different courses to continue his learning, including Shakespeare and Combat workshops, as well as ongoing weekly vocal lessons.
Brady is a big believer in trusting the process. With every role, he provides complex textual analysis, unique characterizations based on his study of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique, and a warm, positive persona to the environment. Maybe it's just the Chicago in him, but as a theatre actor, he values a connected ensemble built on trust, laughter, and a great sense of play. His dedication to his craft is only outmatched by his love for his incredibly loud, bodacious, and adoring family.
Outside of performance, Brady is writing a fantasy novel, aiming to publish within 2 years. He plays acoustic guitar and is the main vocalist and lyricist for the band Boy Escapade, who's self-titled album will release in September 2025.
