Brainerd Community Theatre will put on a production of “9 to 5: The Musical” at Central Lakes College. The musical comedy by Dolly Parton is based on her 1980 hit movie about women in the workplace.
Set in a radio station in the 1940s, the play utilizes radio drama techniques to bring the familiar story to life. Five actors portray the 46 characters in the story, and also create all of the sound effects needed to make the narrative come alive.
The Actors Repertory Theatre was launched in late October. The company’s first production will be, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,’ performing in the Studio Stage at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts. Shows are 7 p.m. Dec. 7-10.
