Throughout his childhood and adolescence, Mark developed his acting career. However, when 9/11 happened, it changed everything for him. He believed things would be different afterward, but they weren’t. When he was called to audition for a show called 1776 to support the troops, he didn’t go. Afterward, he and his friends started putting on their own plays and doing performance art.
Mark wanted to attend Boston University because their theater major allowed students to study acting, directing, and design. He wanted to start his own company and make a difference. At school, he made friends easily among the theater majors, but they weren’t interested in the same things. He realized that Boston University was not the right place for him, as he could do what he wanted to do at home for much less money. He also knew that no one would understand that leaving Boston University meant that his commitment to his craft was stronger than ever.
When he was still in Boston, trying to figure out what to do, he saw two street performers putting on a puppet show. The show looked like a children’s show but turned out to be disturbing, with a much different message.
