The Strauss Theatre Center is set to present the Tony Award-winning musical 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying', a satirical comedy that humorously explores ambition, office politics, and the American dream.
Set in 1960s New York City, the story follows J. Pierrepont Finch, a clever window washer who rises through the corporate ranks at the World Wide Wicket Company by relying on the questionable advice of a self-help book. With sharp wit, catchy tunes, and a humorous take on corporate culture, this two-act production promises an entertaining evening of satire and music.
Performances will run from May 21–24 and May 28–31, 2026, with evening shows at 7:00 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM. Tickets will be available for purchase and season members can reserve seats online or by calling the box office at (318) 323‑6681.
Matthew Scott and Candace Tingle join Cory Crowe on Lagniappe.
