After 35 weeks in previews, Harry Prichett's one-man show, Work=Pain=Success, which plays at the downtown Manhattan Kraine Theater will close before ever opening May 30. Performances started Sept. 27 of last year.

In Work=Pain=Success, Prichett plays the host of this informational seminar with the same title. He also plays 10 other characters in this satire about the twisted work mentality and sacrifices one must make to succeed in the business world of America.

Anna Ivara directs Prichett who has performed with Chicago City Limits touring company among other various television and commercial credits. Work is part of the Red Nights Performance Series. Now in its third year, the open-ended-run based program has featured other acts including Casey Fraser's Why Don't We Bomb the Amish, Rob Mersola's Back Seats and Bathroom Stalls, and Daniel MacIvor's Never Swim Alone.
