The Bay Street Players announce the opening production of The Bay Street Project 2010-2011 series. The first of the five show series opens Sept. 26 for three performances only. This Alternative production series starts off with the savory, savage backstage comedy 'Anton in Show Business' by Jane Martin. An all-female cast performs multiple roles (including men) in this uproarious comedy about an egotistic television actress, a jaded New Yorker and an eager ingénue brought together for an ill-fated production of Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters in San Antonio, Texas. Anton takes aim at producers, directors, surgically beautified actors, crass sponsors, critics and even such sacred topics as multiculturalism, and satirizes, celebrates and challenges the importance of theatre as an art form today. There is a 7:30 curtain for the three consecutive Sunday shows on September 26, October 3 and October 10.

In a reversal of the traditional Shakespeare style of having an all male cast playing both male and female roles, St. Louis Shakespeare's second offering of their 26th season, Jane Martin's Anton in Show Business, boasts an all female cast playing both genders.
ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS, written by playwright Jane Martin, has some clever ideas going for it, including taking on the sacred institution of Anton Chekov himself, as well as examining the ongoing conflict between art and commerce. However, it comes off as more a collection of interesting and amusing bits and pieces, than the pure farce it masquerades as. St. Louis Shakespeare has concocted an engaging production of this work that's occasionally hilarious, and definitely worthy of your time and attention.
