About Mack
Mack is a theatre director, deviser, stage manager, and visual artist currently based in Chicago, IL. Mack is originally from South Carolina and Southern Illinois and graduated with their BA in Directing from the Webster Conservatory for Theatre Arts in May 2020. Favorite pastimes include making overly specific playlists,, enjoying a back porch, and pacing.
Mack's artistic statement is as follows:
As an artist, I am most inspired when working on big, spectacle musicals or in small, devising or conceptual pieces. At first glance these may seem disconnected but what I am so attracted to within these types of theatre is my love for hyper-stylization and creating the “impossible”. I often utilize several other mediums within my work (sculpture, movement, video, etc) to help create these outlandish realities. I firmly believe that life is absurd and theatre should be too.
Regardless of the kind of work I am doing, I always maintain my personal mission which is to normalize casting actors of all body and identity types within all kinds of roles, with a particular interest in diversifying the idea of the typical ingenue. Everyone deserves to see themselves lead a story and fall in love on the stage.
