Hello!

My name is Mason Van Gieson.

​

I'm an actor/vocalist/educator based in New York City.  Raised on a small inland lake in southeast Michigan, I have always felt a deep interest in the imaginary within the natural world. I'm a question-asker who prioritizes research, and my artistic aims surround unearthing forgotten stories and uplifting marginalized voices.  I hold a passion both for the development of new works and reinterpretation of classic texts. I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan, with a BFA in Theatre Performance and a BA in Anthropology. I'm also a bonafide a cappella nerd, and a firm believer that there is nothing quite like the human voice alone to convey a clear story. This belief has led to a fruitful career as a working a cappella singer - you can learn more here.​

​

I've also served on the other side of the table, most recently working in project development for veteran theatre and film producer John N. Hart (projects include THE SOUND INSIDE at Studio 54).

​

When not onstage, I can usually be found curled up with a long book (currently Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver), listening to Janis Joplin and Brandi Carlile, or doting shamelessly on my two cats, Ginger and Izzy :)
