You can e-mail me or this cat at daltongn@verizon.net.   The cat is a piece of graffiti I saw in Paris.  He is one of my several alter egos.

Who He?

I am a theater director, writer and sometimes actor pursuing a number of projects, enterprises, activities, work scenarios, dead ends, blind alleys and fleeting epiphanies.

I've done a lot of kinds of work in the theater from building scenery to managing a company.  I've also done a lot of teaching, mostly to theater students, but also to others, such as public defense lawyers and medical students.  All my work integrates communication, critical thinking and creativity.  

Who He Not.

If you are reading this, it's a blessing.  It's a blessing because I happen to share a name with someone who appears to be a prominent porn star, and as we know, on the internet, porn trumps just about everything, including gambling Wikipedia.  Almost as bad, I share a name with a soap opera character, so finding me, the real me, by Google search can take some patience and/or luck.  But here we are in cyberspace, and yes, this is the real Mark Dalton from Albany, NY, who looks kinda like the guy on the top of this page.  Not the guy with the washboard abs and the.......oh, nevermind.

Don't read the paragraph below unless you are really bored.  It is kind of a sacrificial offering to the gods of Google--I didn't have a suitable sheep to place on the search engine altar.

This is the paragraph will hopefully allow me to have this page appear within the first hundred hits in a Google search.  Mark Dalton director. Mark Dalton writer. Mark Dalton actor.  Mark Dalton teacher.  Mark Dalton researcher. Mark Dalton photographer.  Mark Dalton, Renaissance Man, in a limited way, well what I mean Mark Dalton is that part of the Renaissance limited to the years between 1421 and 1437 in Italy, near the town now known as St. Andrea di Conza, which is about 2 hours from Naples southeast most of the trip Mark Dalton on the A1 Mark Dalton in this town the Renaissance Mark Dalton had a particular Dalton effect, but did not cause a total Mark Dalton journalist transformation but a kind of slight Mark Dalton upgrade in the quality of life and general quality of thinking, despite the fact that Mark Dalton things were still pretty grinding and same old same old, but Mark Dalton basically they had a certain je ne sais quoi (sorry for the French while discussing Mark Dalton) the Italian Renaissance, or more properly, the Renaissance in a fairly remote Mark Dalton corner of Italy, I mean we're not talking Mark Dalton Florence or Venice here.  So, me, Mark Dalton, that's the kind of Renaissance Man I try to be, sort of getting things done and feeding the Mark Dalton goats.
