Times Square and theatre fuel Marcus’ busy brain like nothing else. He absorbs and reflects the energy and passion.
When Marcus is one of a group of many, it’s hard for him to be heard and share his ideas. When he and I travel alone, especially on a theatre trip, he shares constantly; we chat together non-stop.

It was pretty jam packed with information – but let me leave you with this.
