Actor Thomas McGrath is no novice to the Washington, D.C. theater community. With multiple roles in productions across the DC Metro area, McGrath has been seen on the Silver Spring Stage, the Montgomery Playhouse and with the Chevy Chase Players. His talent in performing started at a young age.
“I took my first stage role in Junior High School where I found that I had the ability to make people laugh. Hence a lot of my earlier roles tended to be comedic. When I got to college, I majored in Voice Performance. I trained under Jackson Sheats, and sang in various different choirs including the Washington Chorus under direction of Robert Shafer.”
His activity in both the singing and acting worlds have helped him gain a strong presence in the DC theater scene. As his career continued to grow, McGrath found himself taking on different roles in the theater. For instance, he recently directed his first production, Titus Andronicus with the Rude Mechanicals. Also, Thomas has served as Music Director and Assistant Director in other Shakespearean classics, such as Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Taming of the Shrew.
Cast as Caesar in Ecce, Thomas brings a wealth of experience in all areas to the cast. He is very excited to be a part of this production and loves seeing how young graduates can take initiative and make their dreams a reality.
Be sure to see Thomas McGrath as Caesar in the premiere of Ecce, a production by AJ Rhodes Entertainment, on July 19th at the Warehouse Theater as part of the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, D.C. Tickets can be purchased at www.capfringe.org.
