Three Brothers Theatre Announces Cast And Creatives For ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS

Three Brothers Theatre announces casting and creatives for the first show of their 2019 season, ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS.

The cast features ensemble members Alisa Goldberg and Jordan Wilson with Maggie Antonijevic, Jenna-Rose Drea, Taylor Murphy, Lauren Sheffey and Courtney E. Thompson.

It's the early 2000's and theatre is thriving. The gender gap in roles for men and women is tightly closing, theatre professionals are getting paid extremely well, and Chekhov is always done well when you put a spin on it. Yeah, right. This play within a play (within a play) invites the audience for a Brechtian peek into the joys and pains of putting on a show by highlighting theatre conventions and then subverting them, resulting in a laugh out loud inspiring good time.

Director Caroline Beadle comments: "(The show) is like coming to an invited dress rehearsal without knowing any "rules" of theatre beforehand, seeing how the cheesemaker makes the cheese if you will. Understanding all the working parts happening in order to make a show. Additionally, throughout Western theatre history, shows are male driven. This show gives women the opportunity to not only be featured, but also play male roles. And while the show is rooted in theatre, the theme of gender equality is topical and relevant to what is happening in the world today."

The creative team includes Richard W. Adams* (stage manager), Wake Jeunger (scenic designer), Warren Levon (sound designer), Mark Bracken Jr. (lighting designer), Jim Neal* (technical director), Josh Beadle* (executive director). *Denotes Three Brothers Ensemble Member
