Rehearsals will tentatively begin near the last weeks of July About the play: 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! 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, Anton in Show Business conveys the joys, pains, and absurdities of “putting on a play” at the turn of the century. This play will be cast to be performed by 7 female, female-presenting actors As an organization we are deeply committed to inclusive casting and are seeking a diverse cast of artists of any skill level and experience.
