Mark Corkins (he/him) has been fortunate to spend several summers with Door Shakespeare. Some notable roles from past seasons include: Falstaff, Prospero, Toby Belch, Don Pedro, Jacques, and most recently the human lead in The Old Man and the Old Moon. Local audiences may be familiar with Mark’s work on other Wisconsin stages, including: American Player’s Theatre, Madison Rep, Next Act, Chamber, Optimist, First Stage, In Tandem, and Milwaukee Opera Theatre. Mark was also a long time member of Milwaukee Rep’s resident acting company. Over many seasons, notable productions include: Much Ado About Nothing, The Cherry Orchard, True West, Sea Scape, End Game, King Lear, and A Christmas Carol. Further afield, Mark has had the pleasure of working with the Utah and Illinois Shakespeare Festivals, Berkshire Theater Festival, Arena Stage, Berkeley Rep, Stage West, SITI Company, and the Suzuki Company of Toga (SCOT). Mark is most grateful to Door Shakespeare’s audiences and supporters who help keep the magic of these classic stories alive in the beautiful garden at Björklunden.
