About Mason - Leadership & Craft
I’m a music director, conductor, keyboardist, and arranger based in the Chicago area. My work lives at the intersection of large-scale professional productions, new musical development, and deeply collaborative regional theatre
.
From 2022 to 2025, I served as Music Director and Conductor for the North American tour of The Book of Mormon, leading more than 600 performances across the United States and Canada. That experience shaped the way I work: with clarity, consistency, calm leadership, and deep respect for every person in the room.
Since returning to Chicago, I’ve built a strong artistic footprint across the city’s theatre scene. Recent credits include Sunny Afternoon at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, for which I received a Jeff Award nomination for Music Direction; As You Like It at Writers Theatre; Little Shop of Horrors at Marriott Theatre; and keyboard work with Broadway in Chicago, including Tina, The Wiz, and Kinky Boots. I will next serve as Music Director for Come From Away at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C.
I bring a wide range of skills to each project, including music direction, conducting, piano and keyboard performance, improvisation, programming, arranging, orchestration, vocal coaching, and rehearsal-room leadership. I’m especially drawn to projects that require care, flexibility, trust, and active musical collaboration.
Through Moss Music Services, I collaborate with producers, directors, music supervisors, contractors, and creative teams on theatre, concert, and educational projects nationwide. Whether leading a pit, supporting a rehearsal room, programming a keyboard book, or helping shape a new production, my goal is simple: support the work, support the people, and help each project reach its full potential.
