Mark Kalet, Neighbor

A lifelong South Brunswick resident, Mark has been involved in theater at some level for over 25 years, ever since he was drafted in his sophomore year of high school to play Kenicke in Grease.  He has spent most of his time behind the scenes the last few years, most recently directing Franklin Villagers’ “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and East Brunswick's Playhouse 22’s very successful run of “Jewtopia.”  He is Playhouse 22's webmaster/designer (playhouse22.org), program/poster designer and a member of the Board of Directors. 

Mark met his wife, Ana, a drama teacher, while performing in one show, got engaged onstage at another, and had his youngest child's birth filmed for an episode of TLC's "A Baby Story."  Mark is the father of 3 wonderful children, Joey, Daniel and Jocelyn, 2 cats, Wednesday and Pugsley and a scruffy little dog named Gomez.  Mark is the IT manager of a Somerset-based advertising agency.  His next theater endeavor:  directing Sweeney Todd at Playhouse 22 in October.
