In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, based on the original play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Anne Frank (played by Abby Danner) emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.

9 TO 5 The Musical Runs July 26-28

SSCC_9 top 5 logo9 TO 5 The Musical
SSCC Theatre
July 26-28
Southern State Community College Central Campus [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles
Music directed by David White
Choreographed by Sarah Cordingly

Cast: Paula Campagna, Maggie Dobson, Francine Frank, Zanna Haines, Mark Holmes, Emma Horick, Jackson King, Elena Pickering-Polstra, Gideon Pickering-Polstra, Quinn Pickering-Polstra, Zeb Pickering-Polstra, Shane Taylor, Matthew Waits & Sarah Wuellner

Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee (played by Jenna Horick, Faith Fetters, and Madison Hatfield) live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart (Kevin Evans) remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, “9 to 5” takes you “back to 1979 when a gallon of gas ran you about 86¢, shag rugs, pet rocks and disco were the hottest thing around.”
