Openstage Theater Company: Anton in Show Business October 9, 2009

Anton in Show Business by Jane Martin and directed by Tracy Salter, is full of wild antics and humor in the great tradition of the backstage comedy. When a self-centered sitcom star, a jaded off-off-Broadway actress and an innocent third grade teacher are brought together for an ill-fated production of Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters in San Antonio, Texas, the result is a madcap, award-winning circus that skewers incompetent producers, idiot directors, surgically beautified actors, crass sponsors and self-important critics. Knowledge of Chekhov is not required.
