Marcus was last seen in The Seafarer by Conor McPherson at Round House Theatre. Directed by Ryan Rilette, the show received terrific reviews. The show closed on New Year’s eve.

Earlier in 2023 Marcus was in Hamlet at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, directed by renowned director Eleanor Holdridge. The show won high praise all around, with a reviewer from Broadway World declaring: "I loved Marcus Kyd's Claudius. Slickness is all. He manipulates, dissimulates, and improvises, never a hair out of place."

This past summer Marcus directed Audrey Cefaly’s The Last Wide Open at the Adirondack Theatre Festival, starring fellow Taffety Punk company member and fabulous actor Kimberly Gilbert and the equally fabulous Robert Ariza. Other recent directing credits include Lindsay Carpenter’s Our Black Death, for Taffety Punk Theatre Company; and  a devised adaptation of Macbeth, co-directed with Emma Jaster, for the Shakespeare Theatre’s Academy at GWU.
