"9 to 5 The Musical," set to the music of Dolly Parton, takes place 1979 and tells the story of three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world. Outrageous, thought provoking and even a little romantic, it's about getting credit and getting even. The show will be choreographed by Kyle Rustebakke with music directed by Tony Rosetti.
All workshops and auditions are at the theater at 805 Sixth Ave. (208) 746-3401
