Dates & Complete Cast Set for Tonya Pinkins-Led Mother Courage and Her Children Off-Broadway

We now have dates and complete casting for the previously reported production of Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children. Starring Tony winner Tonya Pinkins, the show will play a limited engagement December 9 through January 24, 2016.  Directed by Brian Kulick and featuring original music by Tony winner Duncan Sheik, opening night is set for January 7 at Classic Stage Company.

The company will also include Joshua Boone, Curtiss Cook Jr., Kevin Mambo, Jacob Ming-Trent, Geoffrey Owens, Michael Potts, Deandre Sevon, Mirirai Sithole and Zenzi Williams.

The indomitable Mother Courage (Pinkins) follows one luckless army after another across a war-torn world in her canteen wagon. She’ll do anything to hold onto her money-making wagon, even if it means the loss of her children, in this timeless tale of war and big business updated to the modern-day conflagration in the Congo.

The production will feature set design by Tony Straiges, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Justin Townsend and sound design by Matt Stine.
