"9 to 5" Auditions This Weekend

Just got this note from my pal Eddie Harbert:
The City of Huntington Foundation and 5th Avenue Theatre Company are pleased to announce auditions for 9 to 5 – The Musical on Sunday, March 4 at 2 p.m. at the Jean Carlo Stephenson Auditorium at City Hall in Huntington, W.Va.

The show will be presented on May 4-6 and May 12-13 at the Jean Carlo Stephenson Auditorium in City Hall.

9 to 5 follows the course of three office workers: Violet, Judy and Dora Lee as they navigate the murky waters of politics and discrimination of women in the workplace in the late '70s. This endearing comedy is based on the 1980 movie of the same name starring Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda.

The show has roles for all ages above the age of 14. Those auditioning will be asked to have a 30-second song prepared. An accompanist will be available for those bringing music and a CD player will be available for those wishing to use CDs. The audition will also involve participants reading selected cuts from the script as well as a movement audition. Participants should come comfortably dressed for the movement audition and are asked not to wear sandals or open-toed shoes.

For more information about auditions or to reserve tickets for the show, please call Eddie Harbert at 304-544-2831 or Maxine Loudermilk at 304-654-1471.
