Dear Mapel


  • Mosaic Theater Company of DC at Atlas Performing Arts Center 1333 H Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Performances: Jan 19 - Feb 13, 2022, various times

Written and performed by Psalmayene 24, a preeminent voice in hip hop theater and Mosaic’s Andrew W. Mellon playwright-in-residence, this joyfully energetic coming of age story takes viewers from Park Slope, Brooklyn to Washington, DC, on a journey through Psalm’s adolescence and major life milestones which are often accentuated by the absence of his father, Mapel. Through a series of letters, both real and imagined, we explore the power of the written word to connect us with our loved ones, our past and to our future.

Content Transparency: This production contains discussions and depictions of sex and grief, as well as instances of racism and racist language. If it were a movie, we would rate it PG-13.
