CCP Presents HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, 7/22

By:

Carmel Community Players will present How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying during a two-week run beginning July 22nd, 2010 at Guerin Catholic High School. Frank Loesser's and Abe Burrow's Broadway musical won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and also earned seven Tony Awards. This is the final show in CCP's 2009-10 Pulitzer Prize-winning Season.

Vince Accetturo (J. Pierrepont Finch) and Kelly Najacht (Rosemary Pilkington) appear in CCP's "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, directed by Erin Meyer with musical direction by Rich Phipps, is the hilariously funny story of J. Pierpont Finch, a New York City window washer, who takes the advice of a how-to-succeed book, and quickly ascends the corporate ladder. The songs are forceful and original. The dialogue is sharp-witted. The plot is a hoot.

Michael Long, CCP's president, wants people to be aware that this show will be performed at Guerin Catholic High School and not the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace. "We had a wonderful time with last season's musical production, Little Women, working with the people at Guerin Catholic. When we put this season together, we knew we wanted to work with them again and left the opportunity open for 'Succeed' to be staged there. We are glad to take this show out into the community. It's a mutually beneficial partnership between CCP and Guerin Catholic High School."

The production opens Thursday, July 22, 2010 at the Guerin Catholic High School located at 15300 Gray Rd., just one quarter mile north of 146th Street. It runs through Sunday, August 1st. Performances are at 8:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students/seniors. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.carmelplayers.org or by calling 317.815.9387. The show is suitable for audiences of all ages.

The talented cast includes Vince Accetturo (J. Pierrepont Finch), Kelly Najacht (Rosemary Pilkington), Steve Wrighton (J. B. Biggley), Drew Paramore (Bud Frump), Deanna Sweidel (Hedy LaRue), Vickie Cornelius Phipps (Smitty), Jim Williams (Bert Bratt), Erica Freeman (Mrs. Jones),Sarah McGee (Mrs. Krumholtz), Rex Wolfley (Twimble/Wally Womper), Dennis Forkle (Gatch), Ryan McLean (Jenkins), Shannon Wise (Matthews/Book Voice), Bradley Allen Lowe (Tackaberry), Devin Smith (Peterson), Rick Chandler (Tonybee), Michael T.
