Mark has worked for over 20 years as an actor, director, playwright, teacher, and producer in Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Minneapolis, and New York. In 1994 Mark returned to his childhood home in Charlotte, and joined Vermont Stage Company as an actor in 1997's Much Ado About Nothing, Othello and 1998's Amadeus. He originated the roles of Hopley and Spencer in Mad River Rising, and directed the barnstorming tour of the show the following year.
Since becoming VSC's Artistic Director in 2000, Mark has directed A Streetcar Named Desire, Waiting for Godot, Our Town, The Miracle Worker, The Drawer Boy, Quilters, The Foreigner, Winter Tales, Woody Guthrie’s American Song, Inspecting Carol, King Lear and Prelude to a Kiss and has acted in VSC's productions of Art, Betrayal, Underneath the Lintel, A Child's Christmas in Wales, Vanya/Vermont, Copenhagen, Doubt and Prelude to a Kiss. He also teaches acting and theatre classes locally, both privately and with UVM and St. Michaels's College. For four years Mark served as Artistic Director of Camel's Hump Radio, Vermont Public Radio's family literature program. None of this would be possible, or at least as enjoyable without the amazing love and support of his wife, actress Kathryn Blume
