AUGUST 16-18, 2019

Dear Reader, This toe tapping satire is designed to teach you everything you need to know about big business and dancing up the corporate ladder.

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning musical by the team behind Guys & Dolls, ambitious window washer J. Pierpoint Finch makes his way up the corporate ladder by following the advice of an instruction manual called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Inspired by an actual humorous publication from 1952, this clear-eyed musical satire hilariously sends up corporate politics and gender dynamics in the workplace in the early 1960s. 

This show runs 2 hours with a brief intermission.
