Theatre graduate student Leslie Hull knew she would be playing the title character Anna Fierling for her thesis role almost a year before “Mother Courage” went into production. She traveled to Berlin to do research in preparation for the role, and while there, she watched a performance at Brecht’s Theater, named after playwright Bertolt Brecht, who wrote the play.
“I think of acting more like just heightened living, so I try to just have experiences that are memorable or that I fully engage in on a daily basis,” Hull said. “Then I can hopefully use those on stage in a role.”
