How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

West Linn High School Auditorium, November 2002

Cast - Orchestra -  Production Staff - Photos (On Jon Ares' website)

Aside from being a really excellent show, I had a lot of fun with this one. Not only did I have a lot of rental gear to play with (color scrollers galore), we had three followspots and a backstage orchestra. It was a lot to pack in, but it was all worth it! Check out the pictures on Jon Ares' website and see how amazing the set looked. Very retro.
