The final phase of Mosaic's performing arts training is Mosaic Next Stage. This company is comprised of the more experienced members of Mosaic Youth Ensemble. As members of Mosaic Next Stage, young artists receive a stipend for their performances, thus beginning the "next stage" in their development as theatre and music professionals. Mosaic Next Stage has been commissioned to create and perform original pieces by the Detroit Zoo, The Detroit Institute of Arts and The Skillman Foundation.
