Mosaic Youth Ensemble

The Mosaic Youth Ensemble is the core program of Mosaic, providing nine months of free intensive education and training in acting, vocal music, and technical theatre. Each year, approximately 100 young people, ages 12-18, are chosen for the Mosaic Youth Ensemble by audition and interview. Ensemble members work with professional actors, writers, musicians and designers. Rehearsing after school and on weekends, these young artists are involved in every element of production, which include writing plays, composing music and designing and building sets. Throughout the year, Mosaic Youth Ensemble tours original performances to schools by way of Mosaic's Metro Tour presented by Henry Ford Health System. Additionally, the Mosaic Youth Ensemble presents public performances at the Detroit Film Theatre inside the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
