About Young John Lewis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book and Lyrics by Psalmayene 24
Music by Kokayi
Directed by Reginald L. Douglas
March 26-April 26, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to make some Good Trouble! In this new musical, Mosaic\u2019s Playwright-in-Residence Psalmayene 24 honors the legendary \u201cConscience of Congress\u201d: the late Congressman John Lewis. Focusing on the Congressman\u2019s formative years of ages 18-28, Young John Lewis<\/em> reveals the humanity and heart of this mighty historic figure. The musical explores how the murder of Emmett Till motivated Lewis to pursue a life of service, including leading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, fighting for Civil Rights with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and nearly two decades of work in Congress. A theatrical event not to be missed, Young John Lewis<\/em> is both a galvanizing call to action and an inspiring reminder that we can all make a difference, no matter our age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
