Out Front Theatre Company - Georgia's professional, award-winning, and only LGBTQIA+ theatre company, will open its 10th anniversary season with the smash-hit 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, with music & lyrics by Dolly Parton, book by Patricia Resnick, and based on the 20th Century Fox Picture.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot! While their boss remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she? With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, based on the iconic1980 hit movie, 9 to 5 is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge that is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
"There has been no better time to tell the story of a group of marginalized people who have been kept down by an unfair system, and how they come together to fight back against a lying, sexist, hypocritical bigot," said Founder and Production Artistic Director, Paul Conroy. "And the most powerful weapon they use in their rebellion? The music of Dolly Parton! 9 to 5 is a truly classic, joyous story that almost everyone is familiar with, and to have it kick off our 10th anniversary season - well, I can't think of a better way to start the year!"
