In Addition to the many roles Mason has played both on Broadway and Off-Broadway, she also has numerous awards under her belt including ten MAC Awards (six in which she won Best Female Vocalist of the Year), three Bistro Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and two Drama Desk Nominations.

Mason’s concert, Unfinished Business is a tribute to her good friend and colleague, Brian Lasser. Lasser was a composer/lyricist and won an Emmy for his song “Hold Me”. He also was Mason’s Music Director before his death in 1992. Join Karen as she explores sixteen years of discovery, friendship, laughter, music, and heartache through the songbook of Brian Lasser.

As a Theatre Company, CAP21 productions have won three consecutive Jonathan Larson Awards and a 2012 GLAAD Award, among other accolades. The CAP21 Conservatory is one of the nation’s leading musical theatre training grounds and has over 100 alums that have performed on Broadway. Hundreds more have performed Off-Broadway, in national tours, and in film and television. Notable Alums include Lady Gaga (Grammy Winner), Matthew Morrison (Glee), and Nikki James (Tony Winner, The Book of Mormon).
