part of Locally Grown Mosaic FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Dear Friends, Thank you for checking out Mosaic’s foray into the streaming theater arena! The 18 month journey from page to stage to digital devices has been a test of endurance and source of inspiration for all of us. It began in the “Before Times” on Labor Day 2019 when Inherit the Windbag was read aloud the first time at the Page to Stage Festival. Mosaic was thrilled to begin developing this new work by Washington Post humorist Alexandra Petri with support from a Trish Vradenburg New Play Commission. Rehearsals began six months later on February 12, 2020. The cast rehearsed for the March 16 World Premiere Opening Night. Buzz grew: No show in Mosaic’s history had enjoyed such a large advance sale. You know what happened next. As the set began gathering dust in the ghost-lit Sprenger Theater, Mosaic Staff andWindbag creatives got inspired. In May and June Mosaic’s Business Manager Deb Hanselman negotiated with Actors Equity for permission to record the show via Zoom from the actors’ homes. Mosaic’s Development Department raised $5000 online to fund cameras, lights and microphones. Production Manager Chris Banks and Stage Manager April E. Carter promptly spent the money on suddenly in-demand home-video equipment. Lee Mikeska Gardner, our director, spent weeks story-boarding the whole show for video capture. We documented the delivery of sanitized video equipment, costumes, props and furniture to the actors homes all over the DMV. Watch the video here. Just after July 4 we received our freshly minted Equity contracts. ALEXANDRA PETRI On August 5 with Mosaic’s Chris Wren as Director of Photography, Zoom-based film-making INHERIT THE WINDBAG began. Lee was in , Alexandra Petri in DC, and the cast in front of green screens at home.
