own To Business Preface It began as an idea in Shepard Mead,s head. He wrote a book entitled, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Tgying. Then three men, Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, took the books idea and transformed it into a play. Frank Loesser wrote music and lyr- ics for a musical. Mr. Peterson, Edinais musical director, chose this certain musi- cal for a reason: it had a large cast, many leads, and lively music. Also the Edina community could identify with the busi- ness scene. Act I Auditions for the play were announced the first day of school, and began the following week. They included dancing, singing, and reading tryouts. Mr. Peter- son and Mr. John Command, a profes- sional artistic director and choreo- grapher, kept their eyes open for stu- dents with the necessary and appropriate talents. After many difficult decisions, the. cast of about fifty was chosen. Receiving the lead roles were Dan Felton as Finch, Annie Hubbard as Rosemary, Mary Anne Sullivan as Smitty, Mike Mol- lerus as Frump, Jay Bender as J .8. Big- ley, and Bethany Rogers as Hedy. Act II The rehearsals were long, tiresome, and frustrating. Scenes had to be repeat- ed again and again until perfection was in sight. Mr. Peterson and John Com- mand combined their talents to guide the cast to a professional-like production. Dress rehearsals were the final step and provided a time to iron out any kinks and to get an idea of what the final perfor- mance would be like. Make-up and cos- tumes were worn for the first time.

Act III Rehearsals after rehearsals became long and tedious and the cast needed occasional relaxation. A successful Hal- loween party was one event that pro- vided this relaxation for the cast and di- rector alike. Close friendships were de- veloped and the cast became a sort of family. HThe performances were great, but the cast parties were better! de- clared senior Mike Mollerus. Finale The actual performances - a time to display the hours of hard work and effort - finally arrived. liHow to Succeedll was a story of a man, J. Pierrepont Finch, who was climbing up the ladder of suc- cess, and of the girl who loved him and hung to him and eventually won her prize. His success was due to one set of simple rules in a book called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. By following these instructions he soon became the chairman of the board of the World Wide Wicket Company. There were certain obstacles he had to overcome, however. The bossls nephew, the ,lascivious secretary, other executives, and Mr. Bigley himself all tried to stop his promotions. The play ended happily when Finch emerged at the top with his girl at his side. After the final performance one cast member declared, uNothing feels better than going on stage and having fun. We pulled it off. Therels no satisfaction like that. FALL MUSICAL 21
