L. MASON STEWART

A renfaire regular for over ten years, Mason moved from the booths to the stage in 2005, when a chance conversation led to moving props for the Christmas Pantomime show at Dickens Fair, where he found a true calling. Since his start, his duties have gradually increased, allowing him to add items like Mermaid Mover, Web Wrangler, and Bess Boy to his resume. In addition, he has recently assumed directorial responsibilities for the new Aladdin Pantomime.

He considers himself a Jack-Of-All-Trades (and even master of a few), with primary interests running from photography to music to film to cooking to puppetry to mycology to graphic design to chemistry to sound engineering to sculpture, though he is always on the lookout for new experiences.

Outside of Faire, Mason worked with fellow raven Mark Donnelly doing Thanatics: A Rock Opera for the San Francisco Fringe Festival 2006, as well as various smaller shows. He plays a variety of stringed instruments, able to consume enormous quantities of sushi, thinks Halloween is the best day of the year, and loves hiking in Marin.
