About me

Marc Ludwig is an accomplished actor with over a decade of experience in live theatre.

Notable performances include the Alberta Opera's Jack and The Beanstalk as The Giant, Grindstone Theatre's Urinetown as Officer Barrel, he has starred in Colleen Murphy's world premiere of I Hope My Heart Burns First (formerly Bright Burning), and as Ash in Mansfield Entertainment's Evil Dead the Musical. He has performed at various festivals including The Edmonton Fringe, Nextfest, New Works and Ignite. Furthermore, Marc is a comedy veteran and was a regular performer in The 11 'O Clock Number (a weekly long-form musical improv show), wrote and directed for Blackout Sketch Comedy, and co-founded Impulse Improv, a Peterborough-based improv troupe.
