Mark has been a part of theatre virtually his whole life: as a studio singer, a professional actor in the Nashville area, an award-winning director and a Broadway musical theatre writer. Graduating from NYU-Tisch School Of The Arts with an M.F.A. in Musical Theatre Writing, Mark has been on both sides of the audition table as an "audition-ee" and "audition-er" on and off Broadway in NYC for over 20 years. Raised in Nashville and thankfully back home again, Mark is honored to join CYT to share his love of theatre, music and Jesus above all!

Kenna is thrilled to be joining the CYT community! Born and raised in Nashville, Kenna discovered her love for theatre in the 6th grade and has been passionate about it ever since. She is currently pursuing a degree in Elementary and Special Education at Lipscomb University. With a deep enthusiasm for theatre, Kenna is eager to share her passion with the next generation. She looks forward to meeting all the amazing students at CYT and playing even a small part in their artistic growth and development.
