On Stage This Weekend - "How to Succeed..." and "Race"

    You have two excellent shows to choose from this weekend - one is a beloved musical, and the other a hard-hitting drama:

- How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying - ARTS will present the beloved musical comedy about a young man's attempts to climb the corporate ladder in the '60s. It will be presented at the Renaissance Theatre at 900 8th Street in Huntington on May 24, 25, 31, June 1 at 8 p.m. and May 26 and June 2 at 2 p.m.

- Race  - The Charleston Stage Company presents a drama by award-winning playwright David Mamet. It tackles America's most controversial topic in a provocative tale of sex, guilt and bold accusations. Two male lawyers (one white and one black) are called to defend a wealthy white client charged with the rape of a black woman, while their African-American female associate betrays an agenda of her own. It will be presented May 23-25 and May 30-June 1 at 7:30 p.m. at WVSU Capitol Center Theatre, 123 Summers Street in Charleston.

   So get out there and support your community theatre group!
