David Grindrod is a New York City-based director, choreographer, performer, and educator. His professional career began when he played Mark on the National Tour of A Chorus Line under the direction of Tony Award Recipient, Baayork Lee. He later reprised the role at New York City Center in a production helmed by two-time Tony Award winner, Bob Avian.

David continues to collaborate with Baayork on productions across the country, including at City Springs Theatre Company, Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, and Starlight Kansas City. Together, they have brought new life to beloved classics such as Beauty and the Beast, South Pacific, West Side Story, and Cats.
As a choreographer, David earned back-to-back Outstanding Choreography honors from the New Hampshire Theatre Alliance Awards for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Guys and Dolls at Weathervane Theatre. He also choreographed The Light in the Piazza, directed by Tony Award winner, Victoria Clark at the Sheen Center. On stage, David has performed in the national tour of Beauty and the Beast, the Japan tour of A Chorus Line, and at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.
