Graydon Cole McNally

Graydon McNally is a singer, actor and dancer who trained at Oklahoma City University in its prestigious Music Theatre Program under the direction and guidance of Dr. David Herendeen. Although relatively new to the music theatre scene, Graydon trained as a violinist from the age of five and attended the Ontario Music Provincials multiple times after placing first in his categories. Upon being given the opportunity to guest direct a showcase at his hometown high school, he helped to successfully raise over 10,000 dollars for the RFDA (Regional Food Distribution Association of Northwestern Ontario) and the experience sparked a passion for performing in musicals. By complete miracle, Graydon was introduced to his first mentor Bob Durkin who pointed him in the right direction to be able to obtain the training he needed. Naturally talented and with the help of his mentor, Graydon was accepted to Oklahoma City University without any prior training. During his time at OCU his standard of excellence would earn him a Broadway credit when he was recognized and selected by the heads of the Opera and Music Theatre program to perform in Kristin Chenoweth one woman show "My Love Letter to Broadway." Shortly after this, Graydon would be cast in a tour to China where he would perform for the president of the Tianjin Conservatory of Music with an elite group of performers to exemplify American Musical Theatre and the caliber of performer OCU is capable of creating to help further relations with the prestigious Tianjin school. Graydon is currently obtaining a BMMT to add to his resume.
