Dear Friend,
The 2025-26 Season at Mosaic is a celebration of bold storytelling that entertains, inspires, and sparks vital conversations and connections across cultures and generations. As Mosaic heads into our next decade, we remain more committed than ever to using theater to reflect upon our shared history and affirm the gifts of diversity, democracy, and dialogue. From the intimate struggles of A Case for the Existence of God to the sweeping impact of Young John Lewis, from the thrilling intrigue of Dodi & Diana to the sharp humor of Precarious, these plays invite us to see ourselves—and each other—more clearly. We are proud to continue Mosaic’s tradition of presenting urgent, thought-provoking theater that speaks to the world we live in today.
Thank you,
Reginald L. Douglas, Artistic Director
