Mr. McGill first began performing on stage at the age of 15, in Gainesville, Georgia. He became a member of the International Thespian Society in 1985, and many of the friendships he developed then are colleagues now in the Georgia Thespians family of directors/teachers. Once upon a time, he did some minor film work in Atlanta, but more recently has been active in the Augusta area with The Augusta Players (Christmas Carol, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Something Rotten), as well as with The Augusta Broadway Singers. He has previously served as both a musical director (Aladdin Jr. and Sleeping Beauty), and as the director (Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day) for The Augusta Junior Players. He currently owns and operates a theatre company called Greater Augusta Summer Troupe, in which he directs a summer cast of college students, most of whom are theatre majors at their schools. Among his favorite plays is Ken Ludwig's LEND ME A TENOR, and among his favorite musicals are My Fair Lady, Billy Elliot, and The Color Purple! In addition to teaching and directing, Mr. McGill enjoys writing and has published one novel. Additionally, he enjoys directing, performing, and cheering on his beloved Clemson Tigers. He and his wife have two children, a daughter, who is a senior Clemson University, and a son who is a professional actor in the Chicago musical theatre market. In addition to his teaching and directing, Mr. McGill is well-versed in the college audition process for those who wish to pursue acting/theatre beyond high school.
