According to Deadline.com, Todd Graff, Tony Award nominated actor for his performance in Baby, as well as director of the films Bandslam and Camp, is set to create a musical dramedy on the CW titled, ACTING OUT. 

Graff has teamed up with Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas to create a series described as 'Glee meets Bad Santa,' which will revolve around counselors of a struggling summer camp whose new owner is reminiscent of Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa. Graff is executive producing with Goldsmith-Thomas and is expected to direct as well.

Graff's writing credits include Used People, The Vanishing, and The Beautician and the Beast. As an actor, Graff appeared in several films including Death to Smoochy, Dominick and Eugene, Strange Days, Not Quite Paradise, and The Abyss. He was nominated for a Tony Award for his portrayal of Danny in Broadway's Baby in 1984.
