UNZIPPED, written and directed by Mark R. Trost, debuts this October in the Twin Cities on both sides of the river. Trost, the author of three books, turns his talents toward the stage with an unorthodox look at men in relationships. UNZIPPED is an unprecedented look into the privates of men: private thoughts, private conversations, private fears, private desires, private joys.

UNZIPPED is dark, edgy, intense, and funny as hell.

THE CAST:

Mark A. McCarthy (MEN 1) is very excited to be returning to the stage after a nearly (4) year hiatus.  He feels very blessed to work with such an extraordinary cast, but most importantly, having been privileged to work with the talented and creative playwright of this amazing piece of script, Mr. Mark Trost.  Mark’s previous stage performances could be seen in Ohio for (20+) years which include Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire, Clifford Bradshaw in Cabaret, Matt in The Fantasticks, Seymour Krelborn in Little Shop of Horrors, and many others.  In 2013, Mark made his Minnesota debut as Charles Condomine in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit at RVTC.  Mark would like to thank The Man Upstairs, his incredible friends in the great state of Minnesota, and anyone that ran lines with him.  Live the Experience!
