Honors
- The Le Grand David troupe has been called “America’s national magic company” by historian Robert Lund. Like the theatres in which it performs, the magic company’s thirty years of continuous performances have given its community a source of genuine pride.
- TIME magazine proclaims in its two-page spread: “With the crash of a gong, the curtain flies up and smoke billows out from the stage as a team of magicians begins 2½ hours of joyous entertainment that recalls the most opulent days of vaudeville . . . . Spectacular it is . . . The real magic about Le Grand David is the cast and their locale. The show goes on not on Broadway but in Beverly, Mass., a Boston suburb, though it looks as lushly endowed as any Great White Way musical,” (Jeff Melvoin, “Conjuring Only On Sundays,” TIME magazine, May 12, 1980).
- The Theatre Historical Society of America brought the attendees from its 2006 Conclave to Beverly to tour the Cabot and Larcom Theatres. The society presented Marco with a special recognition—the first of its kind—for “CREATING THEATRE HISTORY By Contributing To The Rich Legacy Of America’s Historic Theatres.”
