About the Director

Mark DuBiel is a trial attorney and playwright whose career has centered on storytelling in high-stakes public arenas. With decades of jury trial experience, Mark brings an instinct for tension, pacing, and moral complexity to the stage as those instincts transfer from high stakes courtroom drama. His work explores the cost of conviction, the fragility of identity, and the psychological consequences of public action.

Mark began performing in grade school and continued through college, where he practiced alongside SAG-actor Rick Hoffman (SUITS) who was his freshman year Roomate. Mark developed a lasting connection to live theater: In recent years, he has studied rehearsal process from the director side, sitting alongside an Award-winning director during multiple productions and observed disciplined, actor-driven work at a professional level.

As a director, Mark approaches as an ensemble piece in which every character’s journey comes together to tell a greater story. Pace, rhythm, physical behavior, and silence are treated as active storytelling tools, allowing tension to build and meaning to surface without sentimentality.
