Monumental Travesties
AUDIENCE
“Monumental Travesties was so powerful, hilarious, and deliciously disruptive. Smart, smoldering, and brilliantly acted, designed, and directed.“
“[I was] blown away by Monumental Travesties. This playwright is utterly brilliant and we were so impressed that Mosaic chose him as your playwright in residence. We will be back!”

By Psalmayene 24
Directed by Reginald L. Douglas
Abraham Lincoln’s head is missing. Chance, a Black performance artist, has surreptitiously removed it from the Emancipation Memorial—a Capitol Hill statue of Lincoln standing over a formerly enslaved man—and now it’s in his white liberal neighbor Adam’s shrubbery. With sharp humor, hijinks, and a palpable love for DC, Helen Hayes Award-winning playwright Psalmayene 24’s searing new comedy explored race, memory, and the often privileged act of forgetting.

“Entertainingly transgressive comedy! Psalmayene 24 has paved a way for comedy to be another dramatic tool for understanding.”

Monumental Travesties was sponsored by Mosaic Partners Circle: Believers Jordan Lloyd Bookey & Felix Brandon Lloyd and the Bookey Family Foundation, Activists Bill Tompkins & Dana Brewington, Advocates Mimi Conway & Dennis Houlihan, David Grosso & Serra Sippel, Jean & David Grier, Frank Guzzetta & Paul Manville, Sari Hornstein, Norbert Hornstein & Amy Weinberg, and Drs. Susan & Daniel Mareck.
“Mesmerizing! Risky in its content but captivating in performance. Mosaic’s Monumental Travesties is a searing comedy on racism and allyship with touches of absurdism and a dynamic cast. Davis and Wilson are terrific leads, grounding Chance and Brenda’s relationship with authentic challenges and intimacy. A sizzling confrontation with race in the United States ” –Washington City Paper
OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 26, 2023
Confederates
AUDIENCE
“Seeing Confederates was a fabulous experience: an excellent play with a stellar production and cast and then the conversation afterwards with two amazing women. I applaud Mosaic for giving us more than just the play. You give us rich context and you help us connect the play to life in this world today. Bravo!!”
“ The show was incredible and the people made the environment very welcoming to all people. Thank you Mosaic for a fantastic evening.”

By Dominique Morisseau
Directed by Stori Ayers
Celebrated American playwright, MacArthur Fellow, and two-time Tony Award nominee Dominique Morisseau (Ain’t Too Proud, Skeleton Crew) forges into brand new modes of storytelling in this breathtakingly fierce examination of history, race, and the women who stand on the frontlines of freedom, no matter the cost.
PRESS
“A smart and moving satire. Vivid, affecting and incredibly powerful. Confederates is a memorable production, expertly executed, that doles out humor and horror in equal measure and leaves you thinking long after leaving the theatre.”
–Broadway World
“A riveting new production. Dominique Morisseau’s satire Confederates renders a frank, witty, and delightfully twisted exploration of racial biases, be they unconscious or firmly resolved.”

The H Street Oral History Project Festival
“During its development, Lang pitched the Atlas as the ‘future People’s Kennedy Center.’ Since opening in its new form in 2006, it has indeed become an active (and relatively affordable) arts hub, hosting solo performers, companies, and festivals that might not have the means to present their work elsewhere.“

NEW PLAYS
H Street Oral History Project
The multi-year arc of Mosaic’s H Street Oral History Project, spearheaded by the Andrew W. Mellon Playwright-inResidence Psalmayene 24, culminated with the H Street Oral History Project Festival on March 16-17.
Using Washington, DC’s H Street corridor as a source of inspiration and preservation, local playwrights Dane Figueroa Edidi, Gethsemane Herron, and James J. Johnson wrote new plays inspired by interviews with residents past and present.
Staged readings of these new works were the focal point of the festival, which also included an H Street neighborhood walking tour led by Justice Walks, panel discussions curated in collaboration with the DC History Center, and food samples from new H St. hotspots Hiraya and Paste & Rind.
Gethsemane Herron-Coward’s George On H is the story of a young man, caught in a state between life and death, who returns to his neighborhood and finds it changed.
A sense of home pervades Dane Figueroa Edidi’s play, Smoke, about a Black trans woman who moves into her grandmother’s house on H Street after she dies and forms a bond with her new neighbors.
James J. Johnson’s play Central Time is a “big adventure sci-fi comedy” about a woman transported back in time to the day before Dr. King’s assassination.

Nancy
AUDIENCE
“I love seeing new plays! Thank you for providing this option to artists and audiences!”
“Intriguing piece—well cast and produced—that I will be mulling for days.”

By Rhiana Yazzie
Directed by Ken-Matt Martin
It’s 1985 in Washington, DC, and two women are trying to steer their futures—Nancy Reagan from the White House, orchestrating her husband “Ronnie’s” political career according to daily astrological trends, and Esmeralda, a Navajo mother advocating for her community. Their worlds converge over an unbelievable discovery—Nancy has a direct familial connection to Pocahontas. Award-winning playwright Rhiana Yazzie made her East Coast premiere with a very DC play about ancestry and ambition.
Produced in partnership with New Native Theatre.

“A laugh-out-loud, back-in-time romp that you won’t soon forget. A searing and satirical look at the prevailing politics of the 80s.”

FOX NEWS: Nancy Playwright Rhiana Yazzie on FOX 5 DC with Guy Lambert.
Nancy was sponsored by National Endowment of the Arts, Venturous Theater Fund, and Mosaic Partners Circle: Believers Bill & Evelyn Braithwaite and Advocates Robert & Irene Harriet Blum, Dianne & Herbert Lerner, and Myrna Sislen & Bill Rice.
“Nancy is a compelling satirical play with themes [that] still resonate today as Indigenous communities in the U.S. (and around the world) fight to get their land back, advocate for environmental justice, and improve the lives of people within their communities.”
–Broadway World
MAY 16-JUNE 15, 2024
Mexodus
AUDIENCE
“Mexodus was original, inventive, beautifully done, amazingly cast, and elicited just about every emotion I have at various times during the performance. It was phenomenal. Truly astounding.”
“I loved everything about Mexodus — what a triumph of talent, clever technology, message, and story. I have never seen anything like it and want to come back to see it again. I deeply appreciate the type of plays that Mosaic puts on… [its] commitment to social justice and telling stories about race is a huge draw for me.”

Directed By David Mendizábal
History meets hip-hop in this groundbreaking theatrical experience that explores the often-untold stories of enslaved people in the United States who sought freedom in Mexico, rather than looking north. Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson use live-looping to create a musical in real time, telling a unique story of the Underground Railroad that led south, highlighting the power of Black and Brown unity.
A world premiere co-production with Baltimore Center Stage.

harnessed the power of cross-disciplinary, citywide partnerships to produce special events that brought artists, playwrights, community leaders, issue experts, and community members together to explore the themes present in Mosaic’s productions.
AUDIENCE TESTIMONIAL:
“After the play, the director facilitated an audience talkback, which proved to be equally as important as the play. It provided audience members the chance to engage with the actors, share stories, and connect with other audience members. Not only did we leave the theatre entertained, we left feeling connected and even made some new friends!”

Intergenerational
Matinees welcomed high school students and senior citizens for special performances during the school day, followed by interactive conversations with the shows’ artists. Students and seniors asked questions about the artistic process, shared their own perspectives about the plays’ themes, and connected across generations.
AMONG TEACHERS who brought students to matinees, 100% said that they felt that “inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility were valued in the content and delivery of this program.”
AMONG STUDENTS who participated in recent matinees, 100% said they “liked the program” and 92% said they “want to do more programs like this.” When asked to share “how the program made them feel,” the top two answers were “excited” and “creative.”
The High School Playwriting Contest
provided opportunities for high school students to embrace their creativity, grow as theatermakers, and explore topics that are important to them and their community. Mosaic offered hands-on mentorship to help them write original plays, and the contest culminated in a public reading of the winning plays by professional actors at the DC Public Library’s Northeast branch.
FINN DAVIS, FIRST PLACE WINNER: “This is the best opportunity I could have ever had for playwriting. It’s amazing, honestly, that I could even be a part of this. I am really excited about where I can go in the future with playwriting.”
During a special Mexodus post-performance program, students shared their spoken word monologues and poems with Mexodus writer/performers Brian Quijada and Nygel D Robinson. This event was held in partnership with Imagination Stage, Dream Project, and Kids in Need of Defense.

“It’s our job as artists to tell the story of what it means to be alive today. When I was a kid and I went to the library or the Drama Bookshop in New York City, I didn’t see as many plays that centered on people like me, or that spoke to who my friends were, who my family was. And that’s an urgent responsibility that I don’t take lightly, to help tell the story of who we were.”

with four other dynamic theaters across the country— Cleveland Public Theatre (OH), Company One (MA), Crowded Fire Theater (CA), and Perseverance Theatre (AK).
The theaters will work together as a cohort—bolstered by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation—to share resources, foster collective learning, and champion new visions for the American Theater.
