For Immediate Release What a way to make a livin’! Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5: the Musical opens at the Curtis Theatre in Brea on February 8th. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss, Franklin Hart. 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, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she? 9 to 5: the Musical is adapted from the hit 1980 film, which stars Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin. It is the 20th highest grossing comedy film of all time and has been named to the American Film Institute’s list of “100 Funniest Movies.” Dolly Parton’s title song, “9 to 5,” received two Grammy Awards, an Academy Award nomination, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Artists of America. The musical opened on Broadway in 2009 and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Score and a record-breaking 15 Drama Desk Awards. The musical is written by the film’s original screenwriter, Patricia Resnick, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. The original Broadway cast recording received a Grammy nomination. Since its Broadway run, 9 to 5: the Musical has toured nationally. 9 to 5: The Musical runs February 8-24, 2019: Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 3 PM.

'Dolly Celebrates 25 Years of Dollywood' Talent Bios
‘DOLLY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF DOLLYWOOD’ TALENT BIOS DOLLY PARTON - "I've always been a writer. My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved," says Dolly Parton of her incredible career, which has spanned nearly five decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. An internationally renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to the world of music entertainment, penning classic songs such as "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," and her mega-hit "I Will Always Love You." With 1977's crossover hit "Here You Come Again," she successfully erased the line between country and pop music without noticeably altering either her music or her image. "I'm not leaving country," she said at the time, "I'm just taking it with me." Making her film debut in the 1980 hit comedy “9 to 5,” Parton earned rave reviews for her performance and an Oscar nomination for writing the title tune, along with her second and third Grammy Awards. Roles in “Steel Magnolias,” “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” “Rhinestone,” and “Straight Talk” followed, along with two network television series, made for television movies, network and HBO specials, and guest-starring roles in series television. In 2006, Parton earned her second Oscar nomination for "Travelin' Thru," which she wrote for the film “Transamerica.” Dolly Parton's remarkable life began very humbly. Born January 19, 1946 on a farm in Sevier County, Tennessee, Parton is the fourth of twelve children. Her parents, Robert Lee and Avie Lee Parton struggled to make ends meet in the impoverished East Tennessee hills.

Chatting with the Stars: Stephanie J. Block with a Score by Dolly Parton
Chatting with the Stars: Stephanie J. Block With a score by Dolly Parton, the new Broadway production of 9 to 5: The Musical has been delighting audiences at Broadway’s Marquis Theatre since it began previews this spring. Stephanie J. Block plays Judy Bernly, the downtrodden secretary originated in the similarly titled film by Jane Fonda. Block is no stranger to Broadway audiences or to theatregoers across North America. She created the role of Elphaba for the first national tour of Wicked, a role she recently reprised in New York. On Broadway she has also been seen in The Boy from Oz and The Pirate Queen. The afternoon before 9 to 5: The Musical’s official opening night, she sat down in her dressing room with correspondents Ben Pesner and Sam Corbett to chat about her career and upcoming solo CD. Q: Talk a little bit about Dolly Parton as a Broadway composer. Stephanie J. Block: Dolly comes from the Tennessee mountains. That’s what she’s familiar with, but she’s such a musician in every sense. If one were to say, “Write a song for this character,” or, “Write a song for this plotline,” or “Write a song for this experience,” she will do it quickly and beautifully. Or if one were to say, “These lyrics don’t quite feel like they’re moving the story along,” or “This doesn’t quite feel like the voice of the character,” she will walk away, grab whatever’s there--a napkin, a paper plate--and she’ll just start writing.

The Musical in This Issue: Page 2 CREDITS the History of 9 to 5
IMAGINATION CREATIVITY INNOVATION APR 2016 Technology of the 1970s Office VOLUME VII, NUMBER 8 Typewriters An electric typewriter of the 1970s used a metal ball with raised letters that would press ink directly onto paper with each key pressed. While the typewriter did some formatting automatically, it is nothing compared with the ease of creating an MS Word document today. Most of the formatting had to be done manually. Further, there was no backspace button. Minor mistakes could be corrected by immediately switching to a mode that typed over the mistake in white ink. Whiteout or Liquid Paper could also be used to correct minor mistakes. However, if major changes needed to be made, the entire document had to be retyped. Carbon Paper Carbon paper was a sheet of paper with a loose coating of ink that could be placed between two sheets of paper in the typewriter to make two simultaneous copies. This was often used so a company could maintain a copy of all outgoing correspondence. Mimeographs and Duplicators The mimeograph, or duplicator machine, was used when multiple copies of a document were needed. To use it, a stencil was created by typing into a special kind of stencil paper, which was wrapped around the ink-filled cylinder of the mimeograph. Once the stencil was fixed, a crank was turned that would pull paper under the stencil, creating a copy. Each stencil could only make so many copies before it started to break down and a new stencil had to be made. Xerox Machines Photocopy machines did come into popularity in the 1970s, but Xerox machines were not in widespread use as they are today.
