About The Author

Mark Clark is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Novato, in Marin County, California. In addition to
leading the drama ministry for the past five years, he is also active in the church’s youth ministry.

Mark’s theatrical background is extensive, going back to 1978, when he studied theatre at the College of Marin, appearing in over a dozen plays. He attended the Drama Studio of London, after which he appeared in many San Francisco Bay Area productions, including shows at the Berkeley Repertory Theater and Asian American Theater. He moved to Los Angeles in 1984 to act in theatre, film, and television, where he appeared in such shows as “9 to 5” and “Hard Copy.”

Returning to Marin, Mark taught theater at the College of Marin while obtaining a Masters in Drama from San Francisco State University. Immediately after receiving that school’s award for Outstanding Graduate Student Achievement in Theatre, he took over the drama department at West Hills Community College.

Finally settling in the Bay Area to raise a family, Mark continues to direct and act in shows and has even founded his own non-profit company, Theatre at Large, which presents plays in non-traditional spaces and donates a portion of the proceeds to charity.

Mark lives in Novato with his wife, Pat, and daughter, Jessica. He enjoys cooking, bicycling, skiing, playing the congas, and traveling.
