NORWICH — This Friday, the Norwich Theater Company will bring to life Dolly Parton's "9 to 5: The Musical." The musical is based on the 20th Century Studios motion picture of the same name, with the script by Patricia Resnick.

Set in 1979, it follows three women – Violet, Doralee, and Judy – who team up to overcome their sexist and egotistical boss. Tired of their mundane routine and mistreatment in the office, they hatch a plan to turn the tables and give their workplace a much-needed dose of justice. "9 to 5" is a celebration of friendship, empowerment, and the pursuit of a fair and equal working environment.

The show will be performed on Friday, July 26 at 7 p.m., Saturday, July 27 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 28 at 2 p.m. at the Martin W. Kappel theater in the Chenango Arts Council, located at 27 West Main Street in Norwich.

Tickets are available at several local venues, including Service Pharmacy, CS Miller Books in Norwich, and the Chenango Arts Council. Tickets are also available online at NorwichTheaterCompany.org, by calling 607-244-3852, and at the door.

The Norwich Theater Company production is directed by Dusty Davidson, with Assistant Director Adrienne Zornow, Music Director Cameron Kinnear, and Choreographer Lexi Bryant.
