Where Theatre Transforms Community

Bringing artists and audiences together to spark dialogue, reflection, and empathy.

Mosaic Theatricals is a place where artists and audiences meet to explore meaningful ideas, reflect on our shared experiences, and consider the future we want to shape together. Our work is grounded in three core pillars that define who we are and how we serve our community:


  • Theatrical Excellence: Productions that engage, challenge, and strengthen the cultural fabric of our region.
  • Workforce Pathways: Apprentices in the Dorris Staples Theatrical Conservatory working alongside seasoned professionals, gaining hands-on training that supports real careers in the arts.
  • Creative Youth Development: Students in our Camp ¡Exprésate! programs building confidence, collaboration, and a sense of belonging through high-quality theatre education.


From acclaimed plays and musicals to inventive programs for young audiences and interactive events outside traditional theatre spaces, Mosaic Theatricals creates opportunities for connection, dialogue, and creativity.

A visit to one of our events is an invitation to harness the transformative power of theatre and strengthen the fabric of our community.

Our Mission

Mosaic Theatricals celebrates the human connection through theatre and education by sharing stories that illuminate the individual experience and cultivate a collective voice.

Our Values & Commitments

  • Our Values

    With inclusion, collaboration, integrity, and kindness at the forefront, we work with artists and creatives to bring professional theatre and world-class education to North County San Diego and beyond.

  • Land Acknowledgement

    Mosaic Theatricals acknowledges that the spaces where we perform and work stand on the unceded lands of the Kumeyaay/Kumiais and Payómkawichum (Luiseño) Nations. We honor the Kumeyaay people, who continue to uphold their sovereignty, language, and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego community. Their enduring presence and contributions to this region are profound, and we express our deepest gratitude for their stewardship of the land—past, present, and future.

    For those seeking to learn more, the Kumeyaay Nation is represented today by multiple sovereign tribal governments across San Diego and Imperial Counties. A collective resource is available through the Kumeyaay Diegueño Land Conservancy, which works in partnership with tribal leadership to protect sacred sites and preserve cultural traditions.

  • Community & Social Media Guidelines

    We welcome and encourage open discussion and comments within CCAE Theatrical’s social media and communications channels. We value feedback about Theatricals experiences in all circumstances. However, we expect that comments, posts and communications will always be respectful of others. We endeavor to maintain topical, courteous and respectful social media spaces and communications that are aligned to our organizational values, and duty of care to create and maintain a safe environment for all. We reserve the right to moderate or remove any comments that are not in line with our Social Media Community and Communications Guidelines.
