Maddy Grady

Maddy is a teaching artist, actor, and writer who is thrilled to be a part of the A.B.L.E. team. She first discovered her love of teaching leading youth classes at a local circus in her hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, and the rest was history! She has now worked as an educator for over 10 years, and since moving to Illinois in 2017, had the joy of being a teaching artist with organizations such as Playmakers Laboratory, CircEsteem, and Seesaw Theatre.

Maddy holds a Bachelor of Science in Communication from Northwestern University where she studied theatre and psychology. Her favorite topics to teach are physical theatre, devising, and creative writing.

In her spare time, you can find her crafting, cozying up with her cat, or ready to hit the dance floor to A-ha’s “Take on Me.”
