Mosaic New Play Development: Dear Mapel - DEAR MAPEL, written and performed by Psalmayene 24.

The autobiographical, solo play centers Psalm's relationship with his deceased father through a series of letters, both real and imagined, and asks if it is possible to alter relationships we have with those who have died. Psalmayene 24 (Mosaic's Andrew W. Mellon Playwright in Residence) has said, "This is the play I've been afraid to write and perform for years...but the time is now. What a gift to be working with this particular, dream team of artists as we navigate new forms and experiences for theatrical connection." The play is generously underwritten by Mosaic Board Member Leonade Jones. DEAR MAPEL will be available to stream on Monday, October 26th at 7:30pm (followed by a special reception with the artists!), with no cost tickets available now on our website.
