St. Mark’s Gospel

Michael Tolaydo, a critically-acclaimed local favorite actor, recreates the role that launched his career in St. Mark’s Gospel. Mr. Tolaydo was originally chosen by Alec McCowen, three-time Tony nominee, including Best Actor for his brilliant turn in this one-man play, from over 200 other actors to take over the role. After spending four months preparing for the role and two weeks in London rehearsing with McCowen, Tolaydo performed the piece in Africa and Germany, as well as throughout the United States, from 1979 to 1981. One review of this tour-de-force one-man show stated, "Regardless of one’s personal predilections or feelings about the gospels or the Bible itself, St. Mark’s Gospel is an experience that should not be missed."
