Mosaic Youth Theatre

A meeting place of minds and voices, created for all members of Michigan's many arts and cultural communities across both peninsulas.
The Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan has announced the following opportunity for Cultural Arts Educators:

He will talk with us about the current state of Career Education in the state and nation and speak in particular about how our wonderful Cultural Arts organizations are prime examples of how to incorporate and understand careers in many fields including programs such as mentorships, internships, and community-service base projects!
