CONFEDERATES reflection series
Mosaic expands the concept of its Reflection Series, started in 2022 in conjunction with The Till Trilogy, to year-round programming that provides inroads for deep engagement with the themes of our plays. Through cross-disciplinary, citywide partnerships, Mosaic will produce an innovative series of concerts, readings, panels, and symposiums that spark meaningful reflection and foster conversation about our work.
The Reflection Series is sponsored by the CrossCurrents Foundation and Partners Circle Believers Leslie Scallet Liebeman & Maury Lieberman, and Advocates Margaret & John Hauge.
