Mark Evans was born and raised on a sheep farm in the hills of North Wales, the youngest of four siblings. With little interest in farming, he poured his energy into the arts from an early age. He loved performing in shows and competitions and found equal joy in supporting others’ creative pursuits - conducting his high school choir, directing plays, and choreographing for local dance productions.

At sixteen, Mark left North Wales to train professionally as an actor at Laine Theatre Arts in London. He graduated at the age of twenty and spent the following decade performing in plays and musicals across the UK and in the West End. During this time, he established himself as a leading triple-threat performer. In 2012, he was flown to the United States to star as Elder Price on the First National Tour of Broadway’s The Book of Mormon.

Mark remained with the production for a year and a half, performing in 36 cities across 26 states. In the summer of 2014, he relocated to New York City to begin the next chapter of his career, drawn by the challenge of entering an industry where his work was not yet known.

Since moving to the U.S., Mark has performed leading roles in numerous Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. His Broadway debut came in the role of Chris Bean in The Play That Goes Wrong, where he remained with the show for 16 months. When the production transferred Off-Broadway to New World Stages, Mark became the show’s Associate Director -a role he continues to hold - also working on all North American replica productions, including those in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and on tour.

In 2006, while still based in the UK, Mark founded West End in Wales, a musical theatre summer school created to bridge the gap between professional opportunities in London and rural North Wales. The program became an annual week-long training experience led by Mark and guest West End professionals, serving more than 500 students. After moving to the U.S., the program eventually came to a close, but Mark’s passion for teaching and directing continued to grow.

After teaching, coaching, and directing at various studios and schools around the world, Mark officially launched Mark Evans Studio, dedicated to professional-level actors who value community, collaboration, and consistent practice of their craft.

Today, Mark Evans Studio is home to over a dozen faculty members, offers multiple ongoing weekly classes, and supports a vibrant community of more than 450 actors, with continued growth each year.

Mark’s greatest personal achievements are meeting and marrying his husband, Justin, and becoming a devoted father to their daughter, Larsen. Balancing acting, directing, teaching, running a studio, and family life is a constant challenge—but one that brings his life more purpose, variety, and inspiration than he ever imagined.
