Gary McCarver
Professor Mack
The Author and Founder of HeroAndVillain.com
During the day ... Gary McCarver takes on the persona of a mild mannered financial planner helping people move to and through retirement. But at night (and once a year around the Swallows Parade in San Juan Capistrano) Gary becomes the Melodramatic Author, Actor, Lyricist, and Reenactor performer that folks in town just call "Professor". For well over 25 years the "Professor" has been perfecting Melodramas that you will love to perform in your state and venue. Or come to visit each year in Spring: The Fiesta Association Melodramas
When not directing an Old West Musical Melodrama or award winning plays like "The Explorers Club" ... Gary has founded Hero And Villain to keep the much beleaguered but wonderfully family-friendly artform of Melodrama alive. Gary believes that Modern melodramas are about audiences having fun, booing and hissing the villain, enjoying great old west music, cheering the hero, and watching good triumph over evil.
This website is created to showcase his creative efforts (and those of guest melodrama authors) ...and most importantly ... to keep the world just a little bit more Melodramatic.
