Sustaining the Arts Together

At Mosaic Theatricals, we have the privilege of witnessing the magic that happens when people experience the arts together.

A child discovers confidence they didn’t know they had.
An artist finds space to grow and create.
An audience sits shoulder to shoulder, laughing together one moment and reflecting quietly the next.

These moments matter deeply to us—and they are only possible because of this community.

Because of your support, Mosaic continues to create opportunities for connection across generations and experiences through theatre, arts education, and storytelling. Young people are discovering their voices with confidence, artists are building meaningful creative pathways, and audiences are gathering to experience stories that foster empathy, joy, and human connection.

Over the past year alone, your support helped make possible:

25 productions across 5 venues
More than 6,000 audience members served
6 weeks of youth arts camps serving 469 students
19 weeks of after-school arts programming across all 16 Escondido elementary schools
Year-round apprenticeship opportunities through the Dorris Staples Theatrical Conservatory
The launch of Uniendo , our intergenerational storytelling initiative connecting youth, adults, and seniors across North and South County

Behind every number is a personal story.

One parent recently shared:

“This program gave my child the opportunity to discover a passion we never even knew she had. Because she participated in the after-school program and camp, it’s truly been life-changing for her. Now she’s completely immersed in musical theatre and dance—and we never would have known without this experience. We can’t thank the staff and directors enough for the confidence they pour into these kids. It truly makes a difference.”

Another patron reflected after bringing a group of teenagers to one of our performances:

“Wow! I bought 10 tickets for my son’s 18th birthday, including seats for several of his friends from the high school band—and even the teenagers were blown away!”

These are the moments that stay with us.

They remind us that the arts help people feel seen. They create belonging. They invite us to understand one another a little more deeply.

As arts organizations across the country continue navigating funding challenges and rising costs, sustaining this work will take all of us working together. That is why we are inviting our community to continue this journey alongside us as we work toward creating more than $1 million in community impact in 2026.

Small acts of generosity, multiplied across a community, can make an extraordinary impact:

If each of our patrons gave just $12 per month , we would surpass our fundraising goal for the year.

Monthly support, at any level, helps provide the consistency that allows programs to grow, artists to be supported, and young people to continue accessing transformative arts experiences regardless of financial circumstance.

Already in 2026, Mosaic has presented 13 productions, launched spring break camps, expanded after-school programming, and begun building toward an exciting season ahead filled with cabarets, staged readings, community showcases, summer camps, and more. In June, we will unveil our new three-show MainStage season—featuring bold new works, Tony Award-winning musicals, and exciting summer star power that will continue expanding professional theatre opportunities in our region.

Every performance.
Every student.
Every story.
Every connection.

All made possible by people like you.

This momentum has only been possible because of the extraordinary support of our community. In 2025, 270 donors contributed nearly $600,000 alongside more than $500,000 in grant funding—an inspiring reflection of what can happen when people come together around a shared belief in the transformative power of the arts.

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue this journey with us by renewing or beginning your support for Mosaic Theatricals.

Together, we can ensure that these stories, programs, and opportunities continue to inspire, empower, and strengthen our community for years to come.

If Mosaic’s work has ever moved you, inspired you, or helped you feel more connected to this community, we invite you to continue this journey with us.

Join Our Founders Circle This December

As we approach the end of the year, we are reflecting with deep gratitude on all that has been made possible because of our donors. Your generosity is the foundation of our work—helping young people grow, empowering artists to create, and welcoming families into spaces where they can connect and be inspired. Your support fuels real moments of growth, belonging, and shared joy throughout our community.

Your generosity shapes every story we tell.

This December, we are offering a rare opportunity as part of our fundraising efforts—we are reopening our Founders Circle for a brief and meaningful window. We open this circle only at pivotal moments in our history, and turning the page into our new name is one of them. All who make a gift of $100 or more during the month of December will be permanently honored as Founders. Your name will stand alongside those who believed in this work at a defining moment and chose to help lay the foundation for our future. As we enter this season of hope, we invite you to stand with us once more as we move through this time of transition and growth.
