Greville

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre | 2004 | | Copyright

Greville [first name and dates unknown], actor. He is said to have been a student at Princeton who abandoned his studies to join David Douglass's company at the John Street Theatre in 1767. This would make him probably the first native American to become a professional, since all known earlier performers appear to have been English‐born. Greville played only minor roles, such as Marcellus in Hamlet and Escalus in Romeo and Juliet, and after a single season seems to have retired or moved elsewhere, where no record has been found.
