[NEohioPAL] One weekend left to catch "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" at Rabbit Run

[RRCAA]

Before Dunder-Mifflin and before Mad Men, there was J. Pierrepont Finch, the
lead of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, closing this
weekend at Rabbit Run Theater in Madison.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying has had three successful
runs on Broadway, most recently featuring Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter
fame in a 2011 revival.  Winner of seven Tony Awards and the 1962 Pulitzer
Prize for Drama, the show comes to Rabbit Run as this summer's Young Adult
Production, featuring some of northeast Ohio's most talented actors, 21 and
under.

Young and ambitious J. Pierrepont Finch, or "Ponty", does not know much
about corporate skullduggery, but he becomes a quick learner when he happens
upon the "how to" book How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and
decides to act upon the book's advice.

Entering the World Wide Wicket Company in search of a job, he accidently
bumps into company president, J. B. Biggley, and secures a position in the
mailroom.  Following the book's step-by-step guidelines, Ponty has a riotous
and meteoric rise on the corporate ladder making lots of friends and a few
enemies along the way.   

How to Succeed is based on the book of the same title by Abe Burrows, Jack
Weinstock and Willie Gilbert with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser.  The
show is directed by Brint Learned, and musical direction by Roberta Whitely
and choreography by Jennifer Leinweber Ritz.

The show runs Thursday through Sunday, June 27 - 30.  Tickets for all
performances are available by calling the box office at 440-428-7092,
Wednesday through Sunday, 3 to 7 p.m. or on line at

$21/adult and $19/senior, student.  For group packages and rates call
440-428-5913.

All shows begin at 8 p.m.  Rabbit Run Theater is located at 5648 W. Chapel
Rd., Madison, and is one of the few remaining barn theaters in Ohio.
