Originally produced at La MaMa ETC and directed by Luann Purcell Jennings in 2014, *mark  – A Solo Perfomance of the Gospel of Mark features Magis founder, George Drance, as the storyteller, and original music composed by internationally acclaimed, award-winning composer Elizabeth Swados. Drance’s grandparents on both sides were born in Western Ukraine. Recently he has performed with Virlana Tkacz’s Yara Arts Group in “Radio 477” alongside Serhiy Zhadan and Daria Kolomiec. He will perform at the Ukrainian Museum in May with Ping Chong’s “Undesireable Elements.” This production of *mark is directed by Jackie Lucid.

“George Drance is stunning in the role. He is a wonderful creator of unlimited energy and trusts in his telling of this remarkable story. You are instantly mesmerized by him and his delivery.” – The Front Row Center

Magis Theatre Company, founded in 2003, is an ensemble of actors and teaching artists who came together out of desire: desire to teach, desire to train, and desire to act. The company has produced a variety of actor driven, physically based theatre productions that explore the human condition. Recent productions include: Thornton Wilder’s The Alcestiad performed at FDR Four Freedoms Park; Calderon’s Two Dreams, presenting both the 1636 comedia and the 1677 auto  sacramental of Life is a Dream;  Leslie Lewis’ Miracle in Rwanda, testifying to the transformative power of prayer and forgiveness. Their adaptation of  C.S. Lewis’s fantastical spiritual tale The Great Divorce was hailed by the New York Times as “thought provoking… long on theatrical skill and remarkably short on preachiness.”
