Mark Stoddard ~ Theater Director ~
In Arizona, over 4 million patrons have filled auditoriums to see my work as a professional theatermaker (director, actor, playwright, producer) at many of the major arts organizations including Phoenix Theatre Company, Valley Youth Theatre, Arizona Musicfest, Arizona Opera, TheaterWorks, Herberger Theatre Center, Mesa Arts Center, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Phoenix Boys Choir, and dozens of schools and community theaters. I am passionate about creative collaboration - and frequently work with talented AZ award-winning artists like innovative choreographer Kathleen Brazie, and virtuosic music director, Josh Condon.
