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

    You have two excellent shows to choose from this weekend - one is a terrific musical comedy, 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 31 and June 1 at 8 p.m. 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 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!
