How to succeed in business without trying :

March saw a well planned and rehearsed play for the CPA department and Youth Theatre, running not only for a night of success but for nearly an entire week of crowd pleasing.

The show was a tremendous success and starred students from years 9 to 13, as well as former students. The Youth Theatre welcomes all students of Heworth Grange and ex-students up to the age of 25. Everyone is welcome to get involved in performing, set construction, costume and the technical side of productions.

For our younger students (years 7 to 9), we are currently rehearsing "Oliver" which will be performed in early July 2006, tickets are already in high demand so book early!

The play itself

J. Pierrepont Finch, a young but bright window cleaner buys a book - "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.", and following it's advice joins the multi-national but poorly connected "World-Wide Wicket Company".

Starting from the mail-room he rises to Vice-President in Charge Of Advertising using sneaky and dubious ways so that the person above him gets either fired or moved to another section of the company.

He also starts slowly falling in love with secretary Rosemary Pilkington. Meanwhile, the president of the WWWC, J.B. Biggley, tries to have an affair with drop-dead gorgeous bubble-head Hedy LaRue, but she becomes a weapon used both by Finch and Bud Frump, Biggley's brattish and annoying nephew who believe that he should get all the breaks and not Finch
