This imagined performance was inspired by a similar archival project for a canceled performance of Diana Burbano’s Policarpa at Franklin & Marshall College. Imagined Performance: 9 to 5 is serving as a “shelter” for our collective memory of this unprecedented process of making and unmaking 9 to 5. Our company has collected any analog and digital remnants related to the production created prior to, or in response to the interruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This publication is a testament to the labor and love that our production team, our designers and assistants, our performers, our musicians—our one and only company—put into this production of 9 to 5. This is our Imagined Performance, for you, our very real audience.
We invite you to look around—put on some classic Dolly, if you’d like— and celebrate our work with us as our show finally finds its home.
