Route 66

Griffin is incredibly grateful and beyond thrilled to be returning to SRT for the 7th time, a place he considers a second home. He was last seen on the East Sonora stage in Shrek The Musical. Born in Champaign, IL, Griffin discovered his love for theatre in high school, which led him to follow the path to Los Angeles to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre in 2011 at AMDA: College and Conservatory of the Performing Arts. Previous LA credits include Legally Blonde, The Secret Garden, Cabaret (AMDA), Anything Goes, Footloose, Joseph (Glendale Centre Theatre). Griffin joined the SRT family in 2014 in Mary Poppins, which then led to a fabulous journey with other shows including The Music Man, My Fair Lady, and (his personal favorite) Pageant. In 2019, Griffin moved to New York City where he currently resides. Thank you for the opportunity to return to this very special place and to this very special family. We need theatre right now more than ever and we cannot wait to reintroduce you to this magical experience. Much love to you all!
