Warehouse Studio Theatre, 18-29 January 2011<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“A smart, acerbic crowd pleaser…. Simultaneously a love letter and a poison pen letter to the American theatre.” Variety.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo well written that you won\u2019t have to know a thing about Three Sisters in order to laugh your way through the evening. The writing is sharp, knowing, and cuts to the quick.\u201d – George Heymont, My Cultural Landscape<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This madcap comedy follows three actresses across the footlights, down the rabbit hole and into a strangely familiar Wonderland that looks a lot like American theatre the resemblance is uncanny! Holly Seab\u00e9 is a gorgeous TV star pursuing the cache stage acting can give her to help her land a movie role. Casey Mulgraw, the “Queen of Off-Off-Broadway,” has performed in 200 productions without pay. Lisabette Cartwright, a recent graduate of the Southern Methodist University theatre program, seeks a meaningful experience in theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As these women pursue their dream of performing Chekhov in Texas, they’re whisked through a maelstrom of “good ideas” that offer unique solutions to the Three Sisters need to have life’s deeper purpose revealed. In the tradition of great backstage comedies,\u00a0Anton in Show Business\u00a0conveys the joys, pains and absurdities of “putting on a play” at the turn of the century.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
