A Case for the Existence of God – Mosaic Theater Company’s Intergenerational Matinee Program

Mosaic Theater Company

The play is a story of a Black gay mortgage broker and a straight white construction worker who struggle over the terms of a home loan while connecting over fatherhood’s joys and pains. They form an unlikely friendship, using humor to find hope amidst heartbreak. Matinee participants will be able to explore how shared experiences can help us build connections across differences. Mosaic’s Intergenerational Matinee Program provides opportunities for middle and high school students to experience culturally-diverse, socially-relevant theater. Students attend a performance at Mosaic and participate in an interactive post-show conversation featuring artists from the show. Students can ask questions, share their perspectives, explore the play’s themes, and learn more together. Senior citizens also attend allowing these disparate populations to be in dialogue via the arts.

Grade level: 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th

Maximum attendees: 100

Program Outline:

5 mins: Welcome and introduction by a Mosaic staff member to share more about the schedule for the day, provide context about what participants can expect, and set norms that make students feel welcomed and comfortable.
85 minutes: Students watch a full performance of the production.
25 minutes: At the end of each performance, students will participate in a post-show educational conversation conducted by Mosaic staff and featuring the actors working on the show. The goal of the conversations is to give students the opportunity to ask questions about the content of the performance, deepen their theater experience through up-close engagement with professional artists, share their own perspectives about the play’s themes, and engage in meaningful intergenerational dialogue with senior citizens who also participate in the Matinee Program.
