'9 to 5 the Musical'
Hale Centre Theatre stages the musical remake of the iconic movie about working women who fantasize about getting even with their boss, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. "'9 to 5' is a timeless story, because these women are all people we can identify with in some way — the single mom trying to raise a family and get a promotion, a recent divorcee who has experienced a breach in trust and a young woman trying to not simply be judged by her beauty but admired for her brain," says director John Sweeney. The show features Sharon Kenison and Bonnie Whitlock as Violet Newstead (the Lily Tomlin character), Angie Winegar and Madeline Weinberger as Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton's on-screen role), Adrien Swenson and Angela Jeffries as Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda's character), and Ryan Poole and David Glaittli as the boss, Franklin M. Hart Jr.

A Modern Romeo and Juliet
New World Shakespeare Company will make its inaugural production with a modern twist on "Romeo and Juliet."

Profits will be donated to the Utah Suicide & Crisis Hotline and to the children of Bradford Garrison, a fellow actor who took his own life in March of this year.
