Event Description
Threshold Theatre presents ABD with Mark the C—Mark Cassidy’s hilarious and heart-warming memoir of growing up in a hotel and motel in small-town Ontario.
“Every old town in Ontario has one on its main drag. The hotel. A historic building whose charm has been reincarnated--or not. I spent part of my childhood in one of those. Follow the highway out of the small town, and before long you'll pass a roadside motel. I spent my adolescence in one of those.”
Written & performed by Mark Cassidy, directed by Hume Baugh.
