Some info: Winner of 2001 American Theatre Critics Steinberg New Play Award; "Funny, smart, wry, and poignant" , "simultaneously a love letter and poison-pen letter to the American Theatre" (Variety)

"One of the first things you learn in drama school is that there are more roles for men than for women. This is a wonderful thing to learn because it is true of the real world as well." ---from Medea by Christopher Durang and Wendy Wasserstein
SHINE is a production company in Newburyport which attempts to redress this issue! We seek to produce excellent plays that feature strong roles for women, and include men as well.

Anton In Show Business is a behind the scenes satire of a regional theater production of Chekhov's The Three Sisters. It is highly entertaining, as well as thought-provoking.
