"The thrust for freedom is the quality in tragedy which
exalts. The revolutionary questioning of the stable environment is
what terrifies. In no way is the common man debarred from such
thoughts or such actions."
-Arthur Miller
1949

Title
Here's the fearless team that made all this possible.

Kurt Schneiderman
(Writer/Director)
Subversive Theatre's Founder & Artistic Director,
Kurt is elated to be at long last presenting MOTHER DIS-COURAGE in full
glory with such a terrific cast!
Kurt wrote this play to serve as a direct punch in
the jaw of the Bush regime and hopes his work will inspire at least one person
to overthrow the capitalist monolith of Western Civilization and liberate all
humanity.
Kurt sends all his love to Jenny the Magnificent
without whom all of this would be worthless.

After a long hiatus, during the latter part of which
he appeared in several staged readings for the Subversive Theatre, he’s
pleased to have been cast in this fully staged production for the company.
