A cup of ambition is all it takes to put on the Broadway Junior show, "9 to 5." During the fall at Boothbay Region High School (BRHS), many students are doing double duty participating in cross country, field hockey, cheering, and more, so having a rehearsal as well is very challenging-but always, fun.  The upbeat musical will be presented Friday, Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 14 at 1 and 5 p.m. in the high school auditorium. 

In 1980,  Dolly Parton wrote the music - and we dare anyone not to sing along to her iconic title song, "9 to 5" - and starred in the film version with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman. With her passing in August, it is an honor to present this musical to remember a truly remarkable woman. The show's book was written by Patricia Resnick.

Cast members include Sophia Mansfield (Doralee), Natalie Flagg (Violet), Jessie Ullo (Judy), Titan Lewis (Joe), Jayden Coulombe (Mr. Hart), Sammy Colby (Roz), Emma Scott (Maria), El Morton (Margaret), Sarah Moran (Kathy), Henry Fulton (Bob), Lucian Stoddard (Rick), John Cooper (Dwayne), Isabel Fanslau (Missy) and Aryana Gray (Mr. Tinsworthy). 

Tech Crew members include: Autumn Therien, Kolton McKenney, Lee Pangburn (lights), Jackie Branch (spot) and John Cooper (sound). Dr. Miller is directing the production with assistance by stage manager Mrs. Susie Taylor.
