whale oil beef yuckt!

i'm doing lots of composing and recording for live arts (www.livearts.org) production of bertolt brecht's 'mother courage and her children'. the play centers around a machiavellian opportunist who uses guile and grift to profit from war...hmmm...that rings some bells. 'mother' wheels her wares around, selling what she can to make a kroner, but loses sight of her two sons and daughter over the twelve year (and twelve scene) period. along the journey, she teams with a cook, chaplain, prostitute, and her family to sing some of the most ironic anthems ever penned for stage. i've taken the lyrics and rewritten the music. the show opens on march 27th and runs for three weekends. check www.livearts.org for a schedule of shows.
