Mack Brown is a Brooklyn-based butch director

Mack builds precise new musicals, plays that challenge our collective moral compass, and theatre that is trans-genre and transsexual. They create strong rehearsal ecosystems; yielding bold, deliberate work forged in collective ownership, mutual flourishing, and rigorous attention to detail.

They were the Roundabout Directing Fellow for RTC’s 2022-23 season, and currently work as Lead Facilitator of the Roundabout Directors Group. Mack has been an associate and assistant director on and off Broadway to directors including Bartlett Sher, Trip Cullman, Connor Gallagher, and David Mendizábal. Mack is a current NYU Tisch Drama Gender Expansive Mentor, and also works at Convergence, a publication that works with grassroots organizers and activists to produce media that sharpens our collective practice.

Most summers, Mack serves as an Associate Artistic Director to the students at The Summer School for the Performing Arts in Massachusetts. 2024 was their 19th summer with the program, and their Boston accent always comes back.
