In the spring of 2008, Marc joined Pedro (Roxy Rojo) and I in Santa Clara Cuba for a couple of days of the national small format theatre festival at El Mejunje. That Saturday, Pedro, Marc, and I jumped into Arrocha's car (along with a lovely lady whose name I have forgotten) and drove toward Pedro's hometown of Caiberien. Along the way, we came upon a kind of miniature sculpture of, or monument to, the Eiffel Tower. Marc made us pull over immediately to take a picture of him in front of the Tower. Anyone who has traveled with Marc in Cuba knows he was not one for the tourist-posed photo opp -- so this was very unusual. He made me promise to send a copy to his daughter by email... once I had given my promise we were back on the road.
This is a blog for students, colleagues, and any others who want to contribute to have a place to post their memories of Marc. He was a tremendous teacher, and we have created this place to share some of our favorite moments with him. He can continue to teach us, both through his numerous publications and the memories we share with each other, here and elsewhere. Please feel free to post any little thing about him!
