"Anton in Show Business" opens this weekend!

Anton in Show Business is a raucous comedy by Jane Martin, directed by veteran director Norma Rushton. A cast of seven local actresses play over a dozen different characters, telling the story of a small Texas theatre company that is trying desperately to put on a production of Anton Chekov's The Three Sisters. Having secured hot TV star Holly Seabe (played by Anna Kirkpatrick) to star in her play, producer Kate (Kat Sloan) has gone to New York to find the rest of her cast. But Holly fires directors as fast as Kate hires them, and the theatre company finds themselves in hot water with their tobacco company funders. The story is theatrical, but the themes of insecurity, following one's dreams, and trying to balance art and life, are universal. 

Anton in Show Business runs October 20- Nov 5, running Thursdays to Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $20, with two Thursday shows at $10. Tickets are available at www.openingnitetheatre.com, or at the door. Opening Nite Theatre is at 33223 Railway Ave in Mission.
