TesserAct Theatre Ensemble Presents "9 to 5"

Based on the classic hit movie, featuring a score by seven-time Grammy Award® winner DOLLY PARTON that includes the blockbuster title song will be performed at Palatine's Cutting Hall Theatre in January 2014. Join the TesserAct Theatre Ensemble as we sing and dance our way from the office to the morgue to the bedroom. Cast of characters include Violet Newstead, the super-efficient office manager who joins her fellow co-workers -- frazzled divorcée Judy Bernly and sexy secretary Doralee Rhodes -- to turn the tables on their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot" of a boss, Franklin Hart Jr. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot! While Hart 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?

Performances will take place at the Cutting Hall Performance Arts Center in Palatine at 150 E. Wood Street.
