Synopsis: | 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," power politics and competing agendas -- each of which offers a unique answer to the Three Sisters' need to have life's deeper purpose revealed. In the great tradition of backstage comedies -- from The Royal Family to Noises Off -- Anton in Show Business conveys the joys, pains and absurdities of "putting on a play" at the turn of the century. May you live in interesting times. | |||||

Synopsis: | When Ethan is born in the worst blizzard of the century, two-year-old sister Ainsley nearly sacrifices a toe trying to clear a path for the baby's arrival. That initial gesture of devotion blossoms into a tale of sibling loyalty, rivalry and love that spans two decades. Inspired by Joan Ackermann's narrative "Back Story," each of the eighteen playwrights in this collective creation puts a distinctive spin on Ainsley's and Ethan?s amusing and poignant struggles with life, with each other, and with the phantom dad who abandoned them for the wilds of Alaska | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Bill of (W)Rights is a political funhouse growing from a moment in history when self-censorship abounds and the populace is increasingly governed by fear. Nine playwrights offer ten plays, each based on one of the U.S. Constitution's first ten amendments. These pieces focus less on government interference and more on the interpersonal, from a father and daughter facing a criminal trial to the silence of an unfaithful husband "pleading the fifth" to his family -- not to mention a company of actors yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The creation of the script, encompassing a diversity of voices and opinions, was itself an act of democracy, demonstrating that theatre can be a voice of revelation and revolution. | |||||

The burning question, however, is who will play Rhett Butler, a problem compounded by the aspirations of a number of unsuitable candidates, including a flighty hairdresser and a gawky high school boy. In the end the role goes (heaven forbid) to an extremely bright and personable black dentist-leading to great consternation and the last minute substitution of Beulah in the part of Scarlett! | |||||

Synopsis: | Written to be performed by five actresses, this sequel to Jane Martin's last monologue play picks up where VITAL SIGNS left off - in these funnier, stranger days of the 21st century. Reveling in virtues of brevity that include hilarity, surprise and homespun philosophy, these monologues roam the range of contemporary perspective on everything from sexual harassment to sleeping in theaters to the erotic appeals of silence. Whether biking across Massachusetts with 23,000 lawyers or reflecting on the meaning of a Pekinese dog with a picket fence stake through its heart, these characters know how to take the stage and make the most of their five minutes of fame. | |||||

| So you think you want to be famous? So did teen idol and shark-movie star Sheena Keener, the darling of the press, the obsession of the paparazzi, and the Goddess of the 'E! Channel'. But now she can't stand to be looked at anymore and her Godzilla of an agent is on the warpath. When Sheena ends up on the doorstep of naïve newcomer Loli, a recent arrival from Flatt, Kansas, it's a wild ride on the road to fame. Sheena is a somebody who wants to be a nobody. Loli is a nobody desperate to be a somebody. In this hilarious comedy about Hollywood, fame and the TMZ, renowned playwright Jane Martin takes dead aim at our culture of celebrity. | |||||
