Try Out for '9 to 5: The Musical'

The Community Players of Concord are holding auditions for "9 to 5: The Musical," with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick. Based on the 1980 hit movie "Nine to Five." Directed by: Michael Coppola
Choreography by: Beth Fenske

Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. They conspire to take control of their company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do — even in a man’s world. Set in the late 1970s, "9 to 5: The Musical" is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, "9 to 5: The Musical" is about teaming up and taking care of business
