[El Cerrito, California, February 2022] - Contra Costa Civic Theatre (CCCT) continues its live, in-person Main Stage productions this season with Jane Martin's Anton in Show Business, directed by CCCT's Executive Artistic Director Marilyn Langbehn.
This madcap comedy follows a self-centered television actress, a jaded New Yorker, and an enthusiastic ingenue brought together for an ill-fated production of Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters at a small but ambitious theatre in San Antonio, Texas. In the tradition of great backstage comedies, hopes are raised, egos are punctured, and dreams almost come true in this "smart, acerbic crowd-pleaser" (Variety).
"Simultaneously a love letter and a poison pen letter to the American theatre." - Variety
"Funny, smart, wry and poignant." - Miami Herald
Tickets for Anton in Show Business are $35 for adults and $15 for youth up to age 16. All performances take place in-person at the theatre, 951 Pomona Ave (cross street Moeser) in El Cerrito. Free parking is available in the adjoining lot and on the street.
