throughout his storied career, strongly aligns with Mosaic's mission to center voices that are not
often celebrated in the American theater. Among his many accomplishments, he has facilitated
partnerships with local and national community leaders, universities, and organizations,
implemented a discount ticket program for DC residents in collaboration with the DC Public Library, commissioned BIPOC artists to creatively reflect and respond to the Black Lives Matter movement, and developed and led fellowships and training programs for emerging arts leaders at Studio and City, among many more. Douglas uses his artistry as a means of community building and will center robust community engagement programs during his tenure at Mosaic.
A nationally recognized leader in new play development, Douglas has directed new and contemporary plays, musicals, and multimedia work by a diverse cadre of emerging and established writers, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage, MacArthur Fellow Dominique Morisseau and Matt Schatz, whose musical An Untitled New Play by Justin Timberlake Reginald will direct this fall, and many others. As a producer, Reginald has developed, dramaturged, and produced over 75 plays, musicals, and multimedia projects. He currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the National New Play Network and on the faculty of his alma mater, Georgetown University, where he will soon direct students in a production of Lynn Nottage's Sweat. A proud member of Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, Reginald was the recipient of the National Theatre Conference's 2020 Emerging Professional Award.

"I feel so fortunate and blessed to be able to show my full artistry in this moment," said Douglas, who leaves after a brief stint in Studio Theatre's front offices to take Mosaic's top job. "And what a great opportunity to provide space for other artists to also have that same unique opportunity." Douglas's appointment, announced Sunday by Mosaic, a nearly seven-year-old company based at Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street NE, caps a nationwide search Douglas was selected from among 51 applicants in a months-long process, under the guidance of a national search firm, Arts Consulting Group.

As ten years go by in 90 luminous minutes, a father and daughter grapple with truly seeing and hearing the people they care about most: each other.
