Anton in Show Business

Grandel Theatre
St. Louis, MO

Jane Martin's Anton in Show Business, a hit at the 24th Humana Festival of New American Plays and the winner of the 2000 American Theatre Critics/Steinberg New Play Award, takes you backstage in a fast-paced and remorseless look into the world of theatre. An all-female cast performs multiple roles (including men) in this uproarious comedy about a self-centered television actress, a jaded New Yorker and an enthusiastic ingenue brought together for an ill-fated production of Anton ChekhovÂs The Three Sisters in San Antonio, Texas. Anton skewers incompetent producers, idiot directors, surgically beautified actors, crass sponsors, self-important critics, and even such sacred topics as multiculturalism, and satirizes, celebrates, and challenges the importance of theatre as an art form today.
