MARK HALLEN - (director) - [Philadelphia]
Mark and Darla Max just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by going to Stratford for 10 days! Last year they purchased an historic home built in 1742 in Philadelphia. It is a beautiful stone colonial home. They rent a couple of small one bedroom apts on the first floor and we live on the second and third floor. They also have a theatre in their backyard. SERIOUSLY! The carriage house in the back yard was turned into a small chamber theatre back in 1933. Mark helps out with the construction when he has time between his full time job as Director of Theatre at Eastern College (suburban college), running a childrens theatre summer camp and doing the occasional professional directing gig. (Last year he directed the world premier of a piece called Between Men and Cattle by Richard Kalinoski) Their goals are to continue to make theatre and educate new theatre artists until they can have a full time theatre company running out of their back yard. Maybe in a couple of years they will be able to start hiring all their chums to come out here and join them for a show or two. In the mean time if anyone is in Philly, come stay for a while...they have plenty of room!
