Matthew “George” Georgeson is an Associate Professor of Theater in the Design Track at Frostburg State University. He has over a decade of experience teaching classes from Intro to Theatre to Practica to Individualized Research and Design. He also has extensive experience supporting a full season of main stage productions, mentoring students, and contributing to University and Professional Associations through numerous committees and other leadership roles.

He also finds a great deal of joy in teaching design and entertainment technology.
