Ty Autry

After growing up in the Deep South, where his love of engineering, marketing, and storytelling first developed, Ty made his way to Atlanta to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. While there, Ty was an active member of DramaTech Theatre and used the space to express himself to grow as a performer. After graduating summa cum laude, Ty decided to become an apprentice at Georgia Ensemble Theatre to pursue his dream of performing even further. He then spent a few years in New York City, graduated from Atlantic Acting School, and joined the faculty at that conservatory for some years to teach Website Design & Digital Branding for Creatives. It was in New York where they learned to unleash their full creative potential as a playwright and producer of bold queer works. Since then, Ty is proud to call Atlanta home and has written multiple plays. Two of which, "A Southern Fairytale" and "At Birth", have toured North America, Europe, and Australia. He is also the Festival Director for Lavender Fest, Atlanta's queer performing arts festival.
