Memories of Mark

I first met Mark in Footloose. He was hilarious as the awkward hick, Willard. Such a blast watching him work with my mom at our house on his song "Mama Says...".

Then Mark joined "Off The Wall" the next year and our friendship took off.

Countless nights out with the gang...










Mark would find humor in popping my icepack with a fork and drenching me...








"Up the Down Staircase". While Mark and I were both one of the few teachers (rather than students) in the play, we had hours and hours of downtime backstage to become best friends. This play reminds me of some of my fondest memories of Mark.

I will never be able to read "A Midsummer Night's Dream" without picturing Mark hilariously playing Peter Quince with us. He was amazing.

I love this picture; it shows how genuinely happy I was at the time. Mark had just flipped me through the air :)

His brilliant wall costume for me...

Such a good moment...

His performance as the dentist in Little Shop completely stole the show. He was everyone's favorite.
