Mosaic Student Matinees

School Matinees are held each year at the Detroit Film Theatre in the Detroit Institute of Arts, presented exclusively for student audiences. Bring your students to Mosaic's newest original play, SING JUBILEE!, by celebrated playwright OyamO.

Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit proudly presents the world premiere of SING JUBLIEE! The Story of The Fisk Jubilee Singers by OyamO. One of the most inspiring stories in African American music, the Fisk Jubilee Singers performed with dignity and grace for mixed audiences, political leaders and royalty at a time when newly freed slaves were still fighting for education, racial equality and basic rights. They sang the “secret songs,” or spirituals, handed down from generation to generation, their voices keeping alive a history of strength, hope and triumph that is still treasured today. Don’t miss this powerful theatrical event, featuring the deeply stirring voices of The Mosaic Singers, at the Detroit Film Theatre this May.

Discover an integral part of African American history, as Mosaic once again brings the past to life. Moving & educational, don't miss this chance to expose your students to this amazing theatrical event!
