9 to 5
Dolly Parton's workplace comedy musical

9 to 5 comes to Okoboji Summer Theatre in Okoboji, Iowa, with Dolly Parton and Patricia Resnick's workplace comedy musical turning the Rolodex-era office into a bright comic battleground. Violet, Judy, and Doralee are surrounded by systems designed to diminish them: bad lighting, bad bosses, bad assumptions, and the daily grind of a workplace that treats women as disposable support.
Directed by Bernie Monroe, the production offers a scenic world that can swing between recognizable office routine and the larger-than-life fantasy of getting even. The design can use desks, hierarchy, repetition, and period detail as comic tools, then break those systems open when the musical shifts into dream logic, revenge, and the joy of women claiming space.
