For the Reporter

The Auburn Community Players present “9 to 5 the Musical”, for seven performances in June on stage at the Auburn Ave Theater.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. June 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20, with a 2 o’clock matinee on June 14 at the historic theater, 10 Auburn Ave.

A musical adaptation based on the 1980 hit movie is brought to the stage, featuring local talented actors.

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, the musical is about teaming up and taking care of business.

Based on a book by Patricia Resnickand music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, the story follows three female co-workers who concoct a plan to get even with the egotistical, lying, hypocrite they call their boss. Please note the show is rated PG-13.

Advance tickets are $15 regular, $13 students and seniors. Ticket prices at the door are $20 and $18.

Purchase tickets online: www.auburnwa.gov/arts or call 253-931-3043. You may also purchase them at the Parks, Arts and Recreation Administration offices, 910 Ninth St. SE at: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
