Karen Mason
Producer
Karen has been a VLOG member since 1995! This is her 4th time producing for VLOG— clearly she enjoys a challenge. Karen is also an active performer with VLOG. Favorite roles include Cunegonde from Candide, Elsie from Yeoman of the Guard and Mad Margaret from Ruddigore. Other "roles" she has served for VLOG include chairing the Guild for 8 years, Board member for 6 years, and even President for one year! But the best part of VLOG are the lifelong friends.
