The Bay Street Players announce the opening production of The Bay Street Project 2010-2011 series. The first of the five show series opens Sept. 26 for three performances only. This Alternative production series starts off with the savory, savage backstage comedy 'Anton in Show Business' by Jane Martin.

There is a 7:30 curtain for the three consecutive Sunday shows on September 26, October 3 and October 10.
