TEACHING

Mason has over 20 years of teaching experience with students of all ages and experience levels.

“Seeing the Beast was one of the highlights of my college life. From start to end, I was always impressed by Mason’s ability to stimulate creativity, connection with the physical body, and devotion to the stage. He never lost his patience or his sense of humor. I got something new and rewarding out of every rehearsal. It was absolutely an incredible learning experience to work with Mason."

“I have never met a more passionate teacher. Like, he’s literally the best version of an English teacher possible. Mason is just so smart in the script world and always pushed us to the best of our ability and facilitated challenging discussions.”

“When I am having difficulty with my own teaching practice, I look to Mason for guidance, pedagogical tools, and critical feedback. He leads rooms with quiet compassion, but his eyes hold fast on a bold artistic horizon.”
