BROADWAY CLASSIC

9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL

TO DEBUT AT EDISON STATE COLLEGE'S CHARLOTTE CAMPUS

Tickets on Sale April 1

Edison State College Theatre, Charlotte Campus will be presenting the Broadway classic, "9 to 5: The Musical", which is based on the 20th Century Fox Picture and Patricia Resnick book.

Pushed to the boiling point by their superiors, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot. They conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do... even in a man's world. The hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, makes for the perfect girls' night out and conversational piece.

Broadway classic ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ comes to Edison State

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. – The Edison State College Charlotte Campus theater department will perform the Broadway hit “You Can’t Take It With You” beginning Nov. 16.

The zany comedy about an eccentric New York City family first opened on Broadway in 1936 and has been performed 837. The film manifestation won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director in 1938.

“It’s a show everyone can relate to,” Charlotte Campus theatre director Sherie Ragan said. “It’s placed in the ’30s but it deals with emotions and situations we all experience. It truly is a timeless piece and people will really see that when they come to the play.”

The Edison production of “You Can’t Take It With You” debuts at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 16. A second show is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 17 with the finale at 2 p.m. on Nov. 18.

Tickets are $10 ($7 for students with ID) and go on sale Nov. 1. You can purchase tickets at Edison.edu/charlotte/theatre or call 941-637-3513.
