    Mark, pulling from his experience at CBS Television, personally designed the layout. marketing and wrote the DaVinci Machines Guided Tour that guides patrons through the exhibition. The tours became so popular that those tours were produced into a performing arts theater production that made its major theatrical debut at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota, FL in 2014.
