Welcome to the directing section of my professional website! Here, I invite you to immerse yourself in the captivating world of my directorial ventures, where I have had the privilege of bringing both intimate dramas and large-scale musical productions to life.
As a director, I have had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of plays and musicals, collaborating with talented casts and crews to create unforgettable theatrical experiences. From powerful dramas like Antigone and The Trojan Women to beloved comedies such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, I have delved into the depths of human emotions and explored the complexities of relationships.
I have also had the pleasure of directing exhilarating large-scale musicals, including productions like Mamma Mia, The Sound of Music, and Fiddler on the Roof. These grand extravaganzas have allowed me to harness the energy of music, dance, and spectacle to create unforgettable moments on stage.
On this page dedicated to photos and videos of my directing work, you will witness the vibrant tapestry of my creations. From the poignant moments in dramas to the show-stopping numbers in musicals, these visuals provide a glimpse into the dynamic and engaging productions that have defined my career as a director.
If you have any inquiries for consultations or requests for directing opportunities, I would be thrilled to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Let's collaborate and bring your artistic vision to life!
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find inspiration and a deep appreciation for the transformative power of theater through my directorial portfolio. Let us embark on a journey of storytelling and artistic discovery together.

DESCRIPTION:
Freshman students of Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s B.F.A. in Contemporary Theater program present two works by Sam Shepard, Tongues and Savage/Love, directed by Mark Krawczyk in collaboration with the ensemble. Mysterious and lyrical, Tongues and Savage/Love comprise the culminating project for the freshman contemporary theater class as they implement a year's worth of training in experimental theater techniques. These astonishing theatre pieces show the inexhaustible gifts of writer Sam Shepard, and the burgeoning talent of these young performers.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE:
Hello!
Directing, or acting in a piece like the performance you are about to view can feel like a daunting task at first glance. The texts of Tongues and Savage/Love read less like standard play scripts, and more like lyric and epic poetry. One can feel “blocked” instantly. So we began our devising process with a few simple precepts.
- A body enters a space.
- Another one joins it.
- They come together.
- All processes are ignited.
It’s as basic a process as it is powerful. It addresses the biggest problem in all of the theater; “the first encounter.” In our process there were many first encounters. The first encounter with the text, with each other, with ourselves, with various ghosts, with our surroundings, and now...with you.
The actors you are about to see have come together as one ensemble to encounter the world of Sam Shepard’s and Joseph Chaikin’s two scripts as one unified performance, but not simply to inhabit a fantastical world conjured up within a playwright’s imagination, or a fantasy the actors wish to create. They are bravely engaging the complex beauty of these texts, and our world, both as they are, around the globe writ large, in their communities, and in this room tonight. They are encountering you, and you them.
Their bodies have entered the space. Yours have joined them. We come together. We ignite each others’ processes.
Welcome.
