Last night we went to the opening of Mother Courage and Her Children at Arena Stage starring Kathleen Turner.
We snapped the famed actress, an Academy Award nominee, who gave a very powerful performance, with her daughter Rachel Ann Weiss, an up-and-coming musician who performed a song for her mom during the post-show reception.

The story of a tough-as-nails single mom determined to keep her family alive and her business afloat during war also starred Nicholas Rodriguez, who won people's hearts in Oklahoma.
