Shepherd Mead , born Edward Mead (April 26, 1914 – August 15, 1994) was an American writer. He is best known as the author of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which was adapted into a hit Broadway show and motion picture. Contents. Biography. Mead, a native of St. Louis, graduated with an A.B. from Washington University in St. Louis in 1936. He joined the Benton & Bowles advertising agency in 1936 as a mail-room clerk, and worked his way up to a vice-presidency by the time he left in 1956 to pursue a writing career. In 1957 Mead moved to Switzerland and in the following year to Great Britain, where he worked as an advertising consultant. He went on to write 19 novels, including The Big Ball of Wax: A Story of Tomorrow's Happy World (1954) describing life in the future year 1993, and The Carefully Considered Rape of the World: A Novel about the Unspeakable (1965), in which all of Earth's fertile women are simultaneously impregnated by baboon-like extraterrestrials. In 1968 he moved back to Switzerland, but then returned to Great Britain in 1978. He died in London in August 1994. How to Succeed . Mead's best known book has no plot; it is a satire of an instructional manual, very similar in form and subject matter to Stephen Potter's Gamesmanship . Mead's book was inspired by his corporate experiences; How to Succeed satirized contemporary office life in the United States in the guise of a self-help book. Published in 1952, it was written in his spare time - before work and on weekends. Its subtitle was "The dastard's guide to fame and fortune." The book was a best-seller, and in 1961 it was adapted into a musical by Frank Loesser, with book by Abe Burrows. the play differs significantly from the book. It satirizes Mead's own career by depicting the rise of eager young J. Pierrepont Finch . a window-washer who joins a huge corporation by starting in the mail room, and becomes chairman of the board a week later. The play starred Robert Morse as the young striver J. Pierrepont Finch and Rudy Vallee as the company president J.B. Biggley. The play was a smash hit, with a Broadway run of 1,417 performances between October 1961 and March 1965. It won eight Tony Awards and the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for best drama. During the run of the play, Mead appeared as himself, along with two impostors, on the panel game show To Tell the Truth . The Broadway production was adapted into a movie, also starring Morse and several other members of the Broadway cast, in 1967. It was successfully revived on Broadway in 1995, starring Matthew Broderick as Finch. A 2011 revival, starring Daniel Radcliffe, opened on March 27. In Brazil, the book, titled in portuguese Como Vencer na Vida sem Fazer Força , was translated by brazilian dramaturgist Glaucio Gil and published in 1963. The book got two brazilian prefacies written by Sérgio Porto using the pseudonym Stanislaw Ponte Preta and the name of his fictitious cousin Altamirando. Quote.

Cirkla-subskribolista turniro (aŭ tute-ludo-ĉiu turniro ) estas konkurso "en kiu ĉiu konkursanto renkontas ĉiujn aliajn konkursantojn en victurno". [1] [2] Ĝi kontrastas al eliminturniro. Enhavo. 1 Terminologio 2 Uzu 3 TaksadoPlanadalgoritmo 4.1 Origina konstruado de pariĝado de tabloj de Richard Schurig (1886) Terminologio. La esprimo cirkla-subskribolista estas derivita de la franca esprimo ruban , kun la signifo "rubando". Dum longa tempodaŭro, la esprimo estis koruptita kaj idiomigita al rubekolo . En ununura cirkla-subskribolista horaro, ĉiu partoprenanto pozas kiel ĉiu alia partoprenanto unufoje. Se ĉiu partoprenanto ŝajnigas esti al ĉio aliajn dufoje, tio estas ofte nomita duoblo cirkla-subskribolista . La esprimo malofte estas uzita kiam ĉiuj partoprenantoj ludas unu la alian pli ol dufoje, [1] kaj neniam estas uzitaj kiam unu partoprenanto ŝajnigas esti al aliaj neegalan nombron da tempoj (kiel estas la kazo en preskaŭ ĉio el la majoro usonaj profesiaj sportligoj - vidu AFL (1940-41) kaj All-America Football Conference por esceptoj). En Britio, cirkla-subskribolista turniro ofte estas nomita amerika turniro en sportoj kiel ekzemple teniso aŭ bilardo kiuj kutime havas knokaŭto turnirojn. [5] [6] [7] En la itala ĝi estas nomita gironall'italiana (laŭlitere "Italian-stilo-cirkvito"). En serbo ĝi estas nomita la Berger-sistemo ( бергеров систем , Bergerov sistem ), post ŝakludanto Johann Berger. Cirkla-subskribolista turniro kun kvar ludantoj foje estas nomita "kvarobla" aŭ "kvarteto". En sportoj kun granda nombro da konkurencivaj matĉoj por sezono, duoblaj cirklaj subskribolistoj estas oftaj. La plej multaj futbal ligoj en la mondo estas fakorganizitaj sur duobla cirkla-subskribolista bazo, en kiu ĉiuj grupludoj ĉio aliaj en ĝia ligo unufoje hejme kaj unufoje for. Tiu sistemo ankaŭ estas uzita dum taŭgeco por gravaj turniroj kiel ekzemple la Futbala Mondpokalo kaj la respektivaj kontinentaj turniroj (ekz. UEFA Eŭropa Ĉampioneco, Ora Pokalo, ktp.). Ekzistas ankaŭ cirkla-subskribolista ŝako, trablovoj, iras, glitŝtonludo- kaj Skrablo turniroj. La Listo de mondĉampionoj pri ŝako decidis en 2005 kaj en 2007 pri ok-ludanta duobla cirkla-subskribolista turniro kie ĉiu ludanto alfrontas ĉiun alian ludanton unufoje kiel blanka kaj unufoje kiel nigra. Grupturnirrangotabeloj kutime sekvas nombro da matĉoj gajnitaj kaj tiritaj, kun iu da diverseco de krommatchokriterioj. Ofte, naĝejstadioj ene de pli larĝa turniro estas kondukitaj sur cirkla-subskribolista bazo. Ekzemploj kun pura cirkla-subskribolista planado inkludas la Futbalan Mondpokalon, Eŭropan Futbal-Ĉampionadon kaj UEFA pokalon (2004-2005) en piedpilko, Statisto-Rugby ( rugbeunio) en la Suda duonglobo dum ĝiaj pasintaj enkarniĝoj kiel Super 12 kaj Super 14 (sed ne en ĝiaj poste 15- kaj 18-teamaj formatoj), la Kriketo Monda Pokalo, Indian Premier League Dudek 20 Kriketo, La Internacio (Dota 2) kaj multaj American Football postgimnaziokonferencoj, kiel ekzemple la Granda 12 (kiu nuntempe havas 10 membrojn). La grupfazoj de la Ligo de Ĉampionoj de UEFA kaj Copa Libertadores de América estas pribatalitaj kiel duoblo cirkla-subskribolistaj, kiel estas la plej multaj basketbal-ligoj ekster Usono, inkluzive de la regula-sezono kaj Supraj 16 fazoj de la Eŭroligo; la Unuiĝinta Futballigo uzis duoblon cirkla-subskribolistan por kaj ĝia 2009 kaj 2010 sezonoj. Taksado. En teorio, cirkla-subskribolista turniro estas la plej justa maniero por determini la ĉampionon inter konata kaj fiksa nombro da partoprenantoj. Ĉiu partoprenanto, ludanto aŭ teamo, havas egalajn ŝancojn kontraŭ ĉiuj aliaj kontraŭoj. La elemento de bonŝanco vidiĝas esti reduktita kiel komparite kun knokaŭtosistemo ĉar malbonaj prezentoj ne bezonas kriplulon la ebleco de konkuranto de finfina venko. Finaj notoj pri partoprenantoj estas, tiel, observitaj estanta pli precizaj kiam ili reprezentas la rezultojn dum pli longa periodo kontraŭ egala konkurado. Tio ankaŭ povas esti uzita por determini kiuj teamoj estas la plej malbonaj prezentistoj kaj tiel kondiĉigitaj de malavanco se la formato estas uzita en multi-partoita ligo. Tio ankaŭ estas helpema determini la finan vicon da ĉiuj konkurantoj de plej forte ĝis plej malforta por celoj de taŭgeco por alia scenejo aŭ konkurado same kiel pri premimono. En teamo elmontras la (cirkla-subskribolistajn) ĉefligĉampionojn estas ĝenerale rigardita kiel la "plej bona" teamo en la tero, prefere ol la ( elimino-) pokalgajnintoj. Krome, en turniroj kiel ekzemple la FIFA- aŭ ICC mondĉampionecoj, unua rondostadio konsistanta el kelkaj aŭteto-cirklsubskribolistoj inter grupoj de 4 teamgardistoj kontraŭ la ebleco de teamo vojaĝanta eventuale miloj da mejloj nur por esti eliminita post nur unu malbona efikeco en rekta knokaŭtosistemo.

    Newspapers in Education and The 5th Avenue Theatre Present SUCCESS, SATIRE, and SCENERY A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD OF HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING LIVE ON STAGE AT THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 28 The musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, is a satire first performed in 1961. It is set in the urban offices of a fictional corporation called the World Wide Wicket Company and tells the story of J. Pierrepont Finch, a window washer who works his way up the corporate ladder with the help of a dastardly self-help book. BUILDING A SET, CREATING A WORLD In creating an original set for How to Succeed, designers Tom Sturge and David Sumner hoped to create a world that evoked the 1960s. In their designs, they’ve used elements from classic “International” style of architecture and elements from the art of Piet Mondrian. Buildings designed in the “International” style dominated new construction in the 1950s and 1960s and the art of Piet Mondrian found mainstream popularity during the same time period. Like visual art, a set can be described in terms of colors, textures (soft, rough, smooth), space (open, closed, far, near), lines (straight, curved, broken), and shapes. How would you describe this set in regard to these elements? If a part of your life story was turned into a play or musical, what would the set look like? At The 5th Avenue Theatre, stagehands install a newly designed set for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. $18 STUDENT MATINEE TICKETS AND DISCOUNTED GROUP TICKETS

  • Climbing the Corporate Ladder, Tune by Tune
    Climbing The Corporate Ladder, Tune by Tune By Director Greg Ganakas What is your vision for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying? This award-winning musical is based on Shepherd Mead’s book “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying or The Dastard’s Guide to Fame and Fortune” which became a best-seller in 1952. Mead was a real businessman who had already succeeded in making this story come to life. A vice-president of the New York advertising firm of Benton and Bowles, Mead had ample opportunity to observe how people succeed in business, and his book spoofs their maneuvers. The original book was a great resource. The text discloses everything that is done in the corporate world but never talked about out loud. It’s charming, fun, and light-hearted without “really trying.” The current interest for the time period has been influenced by the Emmy award-winning Mad Men. Apart from making 1960s fashion and décor stylish again, it has sparked interest in the mechanics of a big advertising firm. It has been my privilege to collaborate on this production with Jo Loesser, the wife of the late composer Frank Loesser. She has attended rehearsals and been a key component to our process. I have been able to hear first-hand about the original collaboration, which re-teamed her husband and author-director Abe Burrows. How do you think Goodspeed audiences will enjoy the show? After directing numerous shows at Goodspeed, I almost feel as if I know the audience personally. How to Succeed is full of wit, memorable tunes, and energetic dances.

  • Program Notes by Joshua S
    Program Notes By Joshua S. Ritter, Goodspeed Education Director Television played an important role in reinvigorating Broadway musical comedy in the 1960s. A new musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, penned by successful screen, radio and stage writer Abe Burrows opened on October 14, 1961 at the 46th Street Theatre. At that time, screenwriters such as Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Joseph Stein, and Michael Stewart had begun to write outstanding musical comedy librettos for the stage. These writers perfected the art of sketch writing for television and they brought those skills with them to the theatre. Upon arrival, they combined forces with Broadway veterans to revive a lively and amusing style of musical that would appeal to the proverbial “tired businessman.” Successful shows emerged such as How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; Bye Bye Birdie; A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum; and Promises, Promises. In the 1960s the Great White Way wasn’t teeming with tourists from every corner of the globe. A large portion of the potential audience for Broadway shows was sitting in nearby offices, wealthy and weary after a long day of work. Producers knew that capturing the interest of businessmen would require attractive performers, high- energy physical comedy, and a story with which they could identify. Some lesser known shows focused too much on bringing in working men and lacked substance such as How Now, Dow Jones; Oh, Captain!; Let It Ride!; I Had A Ball; and Subways Are for Sleeping.
