About Roger Q Mason
I am a Black, Irish, Filipino, plus-sized, queer, gender non-conformist writer/performer of color. The intersection of my identities compels me to make work that employs performance media as agents for visibility and inclusion. At my core, I am a creature of the theatre. My work has been seen at such theatres as New York Theatre Workshop, New Group Theatre, McCarter Theatre Center, Ensemble Studio Theatre/LA, Son of Semele Theatre, Chicago Dramatists, the Kraine Theatre, and the American Theatre of Actors. Recently, I have been commissioned by Hook and Eye Theatre, Company of Angels, Steep Theatre, The Fire This Time Festival and Serenbe Playhouse. I have been a finalist for the Screencraft Stage Play Contest and Lark Playwright’s Week. And I am a semi-finalist for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival and Shonda Rhimes’ inaugural Unsung Voices Fellowship. I’ve won the Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore Producers Award for my writing.

We ask that you to take a look at the independent creators we talk about and any others you may discover on your own and give a helping hand. It doesn’t have to be much, but every little bit helps in the scheme of things.
