ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY THEATRE MUSICAL — Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot-boss Mr. Hart. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy — giving their supervisor the boot! While Hart remains mysteriously absent and “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. 9 to 5: The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

ABOUT THE MUSICAL — In the kingdom of Arendelle, sisters Elsa and Anna share a close bond until Elsa’s ice powers lead her to isolate herself in fear of hurting Anna. When Elsa accidentally casts their home into an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a brave quest to find her sister and restore summer. Joined by rugged ice seller Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and the lovable snowman Olaf, Anna faces challenges that test her courage and determination, learning that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart.
