Mark O'Donnell

I aspired from early on to write a novel, to be in the 'New Yorker,' to be on Broadway, and at least in a fleeting way, I got all those things.

I love writing novels, even if only a few thousand people read them. Here's my soul; I hope it appeals to your soul.

Theater is exciting because it is collaborative, but it is also exhausting for the same reason.

I love novels, but I'm not a novelist. I'm just a dramatist, which means I write lines for actors. That's all I have ever wanted to do.

I'm thankful I don't have parents that I feel I need to get their attention. They've always been there for me.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
