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, most recently playing Macbeth and Lysander in rep at Shakespeare Theatre New Jersey!

“I have a love of language and the human experience, so work that allows me to tap into that honesty, and to connect with others on a deeper level is what I absolutely adore. I try to bring that to my work as an actor, and I am always striving to deliver that with my poetry.”

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.
