Two Years After Launching Mosaic, Ari Roth Reflects

HowlRound: Trundling my way to DC’s Mosaic Theater aboard the city’s long-delayed, notoriously expensive but finally operational H Street trolley, I pondered why I’d petitioned HowlRound for the opportunity to interview Mosaic’s Founder/Artistic Director, Ari Roth. After all, hasn’t enough been written about Roth since his controversial firing from the DC Jewish Community Center’s Theater J in December 2014? And doesn’t everyone involved in American theatre know about the stunning comeback Roth made, launching his own theatre company, Mosaic, within weeks of his firing? The answer to those questions is probably a resounding “yes.”
