Mother Courage and Her Children was produced on the University
of Denver Theatre Departments proscenium stage. The proscenium
arch is 24' wide and 14' high. The grid height is 20' and there
is approximately 6' of wing space on both sides.
The Mother Courage set consisted of little more than the
wagon, a few muslin curtains, and a trapezoidal set of light
pipes hung well within sight of the audience.
