“This production of Mother Courage and Her Children does what good theatre should; using the stage as a medium, it presents an entertainment that encourages contemplation and concern about our society. Brecht would be proud; his theories advocating the use of theatre to rouse and provoke are currently being put to good use at the Classical Theatre of Harlem.”

  [Newsday—Gordon Cox]
 

“The excellent Classical Theatre of Harlem has staged a taut production... I hope the run can be extended; this play needs to be seen.”
