MARK ROBERT GORDON is the Founder of
Do Gooder Productions, a
not-for-profit Off-Broadway theater company which he has helmed since 1994
as Artistic and Executive Director and which produces in partnership with
designated charities whose work parallels the subject of a given Do
Gooder-produced play. As an independent producer, MRG's production company
The Camelback Kid has multiple projects currently in development for
commercial film, Broadway, and Off-Broadway productions. He is the founder
and head of
S-2-S, a new independent film production company that
focuses upon developing and producing film and TV adaptations of stage
plays. As an actor, he has appeared in numerous Off-Broadway shows and
Broadway workshops and been a critically-acclaimed player on New York's
theater scene ("Expert performer"-
The New York Times; "A most
appealing performer"-
The Arizona Republic; "Wickedly funny!
Consistently clever, spontaneous, and a hoot!"-
Broadway Beat
(celebrity interviewer Sidney Myer)). MRG has produced eight Off-Broadway
plays, directed at several Off-Broadway venues, and is the author of five
plays:
"H": Hamilton or Honour (a one-person play about
Alexander Hamilton, whom MRG will portray in New York later this season),
My Soul is Mine: A Runaway's Story (Off-Broadway-1995;
"Off-Broadway's most prestigious hit"-
Sir Ian McKellan),
Did
You Evuh? ,
Nevuh! , and
R'fua:
Healing (slated for Off-Broadway production next season). He wrote
the screenplay for the feature film
21/2 Jews (adapted from
Alan Brandt's stage play of the same title) and wrote the pilot episode for
the TV series he created. MRG is also the lead writer and co-creator of a
new TV sitcom "Next Case!" (a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional
syndicated TV judge show). Two years after his acting career was
interrupted by injuries sustained in a car-pedestrian accident, MRG returned
to the stage with the acclaimed Arizona and national production of
21/2
Jews; he is slated to reprise his performance in the anticipated film
adaptation of the play. Born in Arizona and a product of Phoenix's public
schools, he holds degrees from Princeton University, Columbia Law School,
and Harvard's JFK School of Government. His law practice includes a
specialization in Entertainment & Intellectual Property Law. He is a member
of Actors' Equity Association (EQUITY), American Federation of Television &
Radio Artists (AFTRA), The Dramatists Guild, Screen Actors' Guild (SAG), and
the Society of Stage Directors & Choreographers (SSD&C).
