Playwright Grady Smith
About Me: From Arlington, TX, my name is Grady Smith and I am an actor/playwright (among other things). I published my first play my senior year in high school, and am still on my way to launching a lifelong career as a playwright. On this page are links to many different sites, samples of my plays, etc. Enjoy.
