Workshop: POSTMORTEM
By Marilyn Ness
Directed by Sheryl Kaller
Produced in association with Beth Levison.
SEPTEMBER 8-12, 2024
Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Marilyn Ness’ playwriting debut, POSTMORTEM, combines true crime with family drama to tell a story about one woman’s reckoning with her difficult childhood. Inventively introducing documentary filmmaking techniques to live theater, POSTMORTEM is a brave and imaginative new play in process that engages audiences in the playwright’s own efforts to heal. POSTMORTEM, the play, will be accompanied by POSTMORTEM, the documentary—a film about art-making and what it can do to release and heal us from real-world harm.
Produced in association with Beth Levison, with the generous support of Cedar Creek Productions, the Fishman Family Foundation, Folk Productions, InMaat Productions, and the JS Plank and DM DiCarlo Family Foundation. Also made possible with the support of the Catapult Film Fund, Jewish Story Partners, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Sundance Institute in collaboration with Sandbox Films, and select individuals.

High School Playwriting Contest
Mosaic continues its work to uplift and inspire the next generation of great playwrights through its High School Playwriting Contest. Open to 9th-12th grade students in the Washington, DC metro area, including Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and Northern Virginia, the contest culminates in a public reading of the winning submissions held at a branch of the DC Public Library and led by a director and working actors.
Community-Engaged Theater Fund
Building on the success of the H Street Oral History Project, Mosaic is launching the Community-Engaged Theater Fund to support the ongoing development of new work that allows artists and community members to creatively collaborate in innovative ways. Led by Mosaic’s Mellon Foundation Playwright-in-Residence Psalmayene 24, fund-supported projects will feature local and national artists working directly with DC residents to create theater that furthers conversations on social justice, racial diversity, and the importance of community.
The Community-Engaged Theater Fund is generously underwritten by the Eugene M. Lang Foundation and Ken Grossinger & Micheline Klagsbrun.
