Congratulations to SLOLT How To Succeed!

San Luis Obispo Little Theatre just opened a show that is very near and dear to my heart, my very favorite musical, called How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. The script is a fantastic parody of corporate life. It won a Pulitzer back in the 60's. The stinging commentary is still true today.

The music is light and fun. The lyrics are incredibly clever. Here are some of my favorites, from a song called Coffee Break:

"If I can't make three daily trips

Where shining shrine beningly drips

And taste cardboard between my lips

Something within me dies."

The Little Theaters production (directed by Natalia Berryman) is youthful and jubilant, making a charicature of the familiar office personalities: The one who gets promoted because of his personal connections, the one who stays in an entry level position for decades simply because it's safe, the secretary who is waiting to be discovered by an eligible exectuive, and of course, the bosses girlfriend.

I'm happy to be subsituting on the tech crew for a couple of shows, and that is enough for me to meet the group and feel involved in this production. It's a joyful place to be, and I hope you'll join us soon!

The MouseTrap at Pewter Plough Playhouse

Official Press Release, more information to follow!!

The Pewter Plough is presenting the legendary comedic mystery, "The Mousetrap", by the Grand Dame of mystery writers, Agatha Christie. One of the most renowned mysteries ever, it is about a group of eccentric strangers stranded in a British country inn, all of whom turn out to be suspects in a murder, each of whom has something to hide and all seem potentially guilty -- like mice trapped in a labyrinth! -- fertile ground for a puzzling story full of intrigue, plot twists and double-twists and fun!

"The Mousetrap" holds the record as the longest running play in history, having become an institution in London for having played there for the past 57 years -- over 23,000 performances! The play is known for its especially surprising ending, which audiences are cautioned not to reveal -- so come to see the show but don't tell anyone who did it!

The cast features Donn Clarius, Lori Cunningham, Jaime Lopez-Balbontin, Tyler Lopez, Tracy Mayfield, Anita Schwaber, Blake Spiller and Sharyn Young. The Director is Sandy Bosworth.
