College Sponsors Trip to the Musical "9 to 5"

September 3, 2008

The Cerro Coso Community College Alumni Association is sponsoring a bus excursion on Saturday, October 18, 2008 to see the hit musical "9 to 5" - What a way to make a living. Tickets are only $150 per person and includes round trip bus excursion to the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angles and mezzanine seating for the musical. The matinee showing begins at 2 p.m. The Cerro Coso Alumni Association is extending a special invitation to the community to participate in this day of fun and entertainment. This new musical comedy is based on the classic "9 to 5" hit movie and features a brand-new score by seven-time Grammy Award®-winner Dolly Parton that includes the blockbuster title song.

Emmy Award®-winner and Tony Award®-nominee Allison Janney stars as Violet Newstead, the super-efficient office manager who joins her fellow co-workers - frazzled divorcée Judy Bernly (Stephanie J. Block) and sexy secretary Doralee Rhodes (Megan Hilty in the role originated by Dolly Parton in the film) - to turn the tables on their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot" of a boss, Franklin Hart Jr. (Tony Award®-nominee Marc Kudisch).

In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover and rise to the top of the company that once looked at them as second-class citizens. A girl can scheme can't she?

Hurry! Space is limited. For more information and tickets, contact the Cerro Coso Alumni Relations Office at 384-6230.
