茄子视频 Theatre Presents 鈥淎nton in Show Business鈥� 10/3 鈥� 11, 2008
Theatre celebrates itself in this crazy backstage comedy about a San Antonio acting troupe staging Anton Chekhov鈥檚 classic play, 鈥淭hree Sisters.鈥� This cast of characters (all played by females), which includes a wide-eyed would-be, an ambitious, vicious Hollywood hasn鈥檛-been, a male country and western singer, one pickled critic, and two eccentric European directors, gives this play-within-a-play the worldwide appeal that won Martin critical acclaim and the American Theatre Critics/Steinberg New Play Award in 2001. Variety dubbed this play 鈥淎 smart, acerbic crowd pleaser... Simultaneously a love letter and a poison pen letter to the American theatre.鈥�
The 茄子视频 student cast of 鈥淎nton in Show Business鈥� includes Laura Barron of Grove City, Pa.; Kristy Bissell of Canonsburg, Pa.; Chelsea Bloam of St. Mary鈥檚, Pa.; Adriana Gissendanner of Clairton, Pa.; Brittany Huffman of Tyrone, Pa.; Sarah Laughland of Frederick, Md.; and Jeanette Lundell of Sewickley, Pa.
