Third Mask was organized in 2011 by two Freedom High School students who were involved in the school's Freddy award-recipient musical theater program. Nicholas Conti and Jonathan Hoffman gathered like-minded friends and classmates to stage annual productions including "Waiting for Godot," "Assassins," "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" and "Seussical." Conti is Third Mask Artistic Director.
