HI, I’M KENDALL MASON.

I specialize in classic and text-based acting techniques, while having a strong passion for innovative theatre and film productions.

From European tours to indie films, my approach blends solid classical roots with a hunger for innovative storytelling. Nowadays, I love to stretch these skills through movement theatre, immersive experiences, and voice-over acting.

I currently reside in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as an actress in local theater productions. A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, I received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and completed the semester program at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Outside of theater, my hobbies include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and international travel.

I can work as a local in Pittsburgh, Atlanta, & Wilmington, NC.

MY MISSION:

Transformation through Stage and Screen
