Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic war, "Mother Courage & Her Children" follows the resilient and enterprising Mother Courage as she traverses and scavenges war-torn landscapes, profiting from the ongoing conflict while providing for her three children. As she navigates this world, Courage must contend with the tragic consequences of prioritizing personal gain over compassion and empathy in Bertolt Brecht’s timeless critique of war, capitalism, and the strength of values in the face of untold adversity.
Director Justin Anderson's take on Brecht's seminal work will provide an up-close view of the tale, with seating on stage to fully envelope the audience into Mother Courage's world.
Performances for 11/12 & 11/19 are at 2:00 PM
