Ty is a young theatre and film man residing in Washington DC. He originally hails from the woodsy hill country of the Adirondacks, where he spent his youth writing dialogue, developing board games, and playing ping-pong with his brothers and fellow company members, Craig and Dennis. Now he has his eye on a different ball--or Apron--but has kept his same old playmates plus one: girlfriend and company member, Ezree Mualem. Ty came to DC to attend American University where he acted in productions with most of his fellow company members. His directing credits include Bluebeard by Charles Ludlam, and Corn! The Musical, a world premiere production with a book by his father and fellow company member, Al Budde. For more on Ty, visit tybudde.wordpress.com
