Marc arrived in San Francisco in June 1996 with a manifesto and a few friends from Brown. In short order the Lobster was formed.

From the first performance in February 1997 through the premiere of the full length play Hunter Gatherers in June 2006, Marc contributed to 30 Killing My Lobster shows, 9 hilo film festivals, numerous short films, cabarets, new plays and many reorganizations of the props in the storage closet.

Marc was also a part of Killing My Lobster performances in New York, LA, Chicago, Seattle and one crazy warehouse performance in Oakland in the late '90s when people did that sort of thing without irony.

Marc worked as actor, writer, director, producer, curator, designer, editor, webmaster, publicist, lyricist, grant-writer, record producer, board member, and as the Lobster Theater Project's first Executive Director from May 2002-June 2006.

"I like it hard. I like an oak wood. I like a cliff face. I like an ice cream been in the freezer so long you break the scooper trying to get it out of the box." - KML Loves a Parade.

What makes the Lobster work?

 Taking the work (but not yourself) seriously.

Checking egos at the door and honestly believing that you are not the funniest person in the room.

Being ok without the cheap and easy laughs.

Staging ideas that shouldn't ever work on stage.

Committing to the principle that no creative idea is too stupid:

Space Chocolate?

A dance number in the Mir Space Station?

Zig zag and Choo Choo?

A surprise party in an operating room?

A school that teaches kids how to swim on the gym floor?

Giving away steak knives to people in the audience?

Uncle Franzie?

A movie about a company that can't add 8+4?

Oh and a couple other eternal truths for the Lobster :

No one is coming, you can never win and always, always carry cards.
