PHOTO GALLERY: 'How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying'

The show about a window washer named Finch (played by Jason Ellis) moving his way from the mailroom to his own executive office with his own 'sec-a-ra-tary.' All it takes it's a little kissing up to the the big guy, J.B. Biggley (played by Timothy J. Fitzgerald). The production was directed and choreographed by Brad Wages. Two members of the Observer Staff were in the production. Digital Fulfillment Specialist Danae DeShazer played a voluptuous Hedy LaRue. And Pelican Press News Editor Alex Mahadevan played a Businessman.
