St. Paul Pioneer Press The trick was trying to see all the Twin Cities theater magic in 2007 by Dominic Papatola

#4 (out of 10) "Anton in Show Business," staged by Starting Gate Productions The script is a sharp-eyed and wickedly funny look at a fictitious regional theater's production of "The Three Sisters," and by extension and sly parallel, the weird and wacky backstage of American theater. If you go only to big theaters in the area to see plays, then you probably wouldn't recognize anyone in director Leah Cooper's cast. But if there's any justice in the world, both the director and the seven performers in this all-female cast should be remembered for future gigs for their solid ensemble work.
