Mark Yowakim is a first-generation Syrian American artist based in NYC. Originally from Allentown, PA, he received a BA in Musical Theatre from DeSales University. A classically trained actor and stage combatant with improv and audience interaction skills, he has been featured in Netflix’s “Money Heist: The Experience NYC” as well as Warner Bros. “The Polar Express Train Ride” in Whippany, NJ. He has been a part of several Regional Theatre productions at Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and Shakespeare Theatre New Jersey! He has built a community for himself in the Off-Broadway scene in NYC, developing new works in the Arab theatre community and is working on developing his poetry into a publicly sharable medium.

When he’s not performing, Mark enjoys putting together a killer outfit, listening to music, poetry, cooking, gaming, gardening and occasionally costuming. He is the proud plant father of Figgy the Fig Tree and is semi-confident that he will beat you in a best 2-out-of-3 match in Super Smash Bros.
