They are joined in the New York office by Ian Subsara, who is a proud graduate of Elon University in North Carolina where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Theatre.  He has since worked extensively as a Casting Director across TV, live performance and theatre, both on and off-Broadway.  The New York office is currently casting the US National Tour of 9 to 5, directed by Jeff Calhoun.

In 2020 Pearson Casting launched the award-winning Collective Creative Initiative, a free 30 hour a week industry platform for the arts, in response to the Covid-19 crisis.  In 2021 they redesigned this platform as a free resource for teaching institutions across the world, and became the proud recipients of a prestigious Industry Minds Award for 'Best Training Establishment'.
