Casting Call: '9 to 5'

Somerset Valley Players will hold auditions for "9 to 5: The Musical."

Auditions will take place at 7 p.m. on June 29 and 30 at the South Branch Reformed Church, located on 870 River Road in Hillsborough, NJ. Auditionees should prepare 16-32 bars of a song in the style of the musical. Bring comfortable clothes because there will be a dance portion of the audition. You may be asked to read from sides provided the night of your audition.

Dolly Parton's spirited musical version of the classic movie celebrates gleeful revenge of the office workers as three hard-working and very clever secretaries create corporate chaos while gladly turning the tables upside-down on their sexist and loud-mouthed boss.

Doralee Rhodes 20-30 A young, sexy spitfire who works at Mr. Hart's office. She is proof that there is more to a woman than just her looks.
Judy Bernly
30-40
The "new" girl at the firm, she has been burned by her husband's affair and is searching for personal empowerment. Insecure, determined, hopeful.
Franklin Hart Jr. 30-50 One of the firm's executives and a notorious chauvinist. He is capable of faking charm but usually shows his true colors as an arrogant, self-absorbed boss.
Roz Keith
30-60
The attentive office gossip queen and snitch. She has an unrequited love for Mr. Hart and will do anything she can to win his approval.
Female Ensemble
25-60
Various other secretaries, hospital workers, and even some woodland creatures. Ensemble members will take on various roles and must at least move well.

The show is directed by Christian Carrara and produced by Karen Abbatiello. Performances will take place between September 11 and October 4 at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
