How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
 Tickets for the Missouri State Theatre & Dance Department's production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying are on sale now!
The show runs in Coger Theatre from October 29-November 1 at 7:30 PM, and November 2, 2008 at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $18-24, and can be purchased at any Missouri State box office, or online at MissouriStateTix.com.
Meet J. Pierrepont Finch, a ruthless young monster that starts at
the very bottom as a window washer and climbs the corporate ranks of a
top executive all with the help of a small handbook called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
The play, with the same name, written by Abe Burrows, delves into the
world of the office and finds out how ruthless, backstabbing, cynical
people with no conscience but all the charm in the world make their
living. Follow J. Pierrepont Finch, as he becomes an icon to the
"company man." Half deplorable and half enduring who else could the
workingman root for but Finch? The characters capture caffeine
addiction, office party fouls, and even true love in the most humanly,
humorous, horrible way ever.
Sponsors of this production include KTXR, KSPR, Sodexho Campus Services, 417 Magazine, and GO Magazine.
Be sure to join us after the show on October 30th in the Craig Hall lobby for a reception after the show, catered by Sodexo!

The Normal Heart on Display
 As part of the 5-year anniversary of the Ozarks Lesbian and Gay Archives at Missouri State's Meyer Library, the exhibit "Pride and Prejudice: Selections from the Ozarks Lesbian and Gay Archives" will feature the controversial Theatre & Dance production of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart.
The exhibit will be on display through December 23rd, 2008.
Produced in 1989, The Normal Heart was met with mass protests, national media attention, bomb threats, and even a case of arson, due to it's themes of homosexuality and AIDS. This is a very significant time period for the Theatre & Dance Department, and we would like to encourage everybody to attend.
