Gloriana Musical Theatre Announces Its 51st Season!
We’re thrilled that 9 to 5: The Musical will open our 51st Season!
Based on the hit 1980 film and featuring music and lyrics by the legendary Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 is a hilarious, high-energy musical about three coworkers who are pushed to their limits by their sexist and egotistical boss. When Violet, Judy, and Doralee decide they’ve had enough, they hatch a plan to turn the tables—and discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and standing up for themselves along the way.
With catchy songs, big laughs, and plenty of heart, 9 to 5 is the perfect way to launch Gloriana’s 51st season!
Stay tuned for audition information for upcoming shows, performance dates, and more. We can’t wait to share this fabulous show with you!

Laura Gibson—who performed the very first Tiny Desk concert—plays an intimate live set at the historic ballroom in The Weller House. Sound and lighting by Paper Moon Productions. Beer, Wine, Cocktails, and Non-Alcoholic Elixirs, and Refreshments by Esther's Elixirs. Accessibility note: this event is on the third floor of The Weller House Mansion, and requires attendees to climb three flights of stairs. We do not have an elevator.
Laura Gibson is an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer and writer NPR calls “a boundlessly wise and warm interrogator”. With a love of traditional folk music and a bent toward experimentation, she has performed on four continents and had the distinct honor of playing the very first (and 200th) NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Pitchfork says, “She has this uncanny way of drawing you into her ruminations, making you connect with her emotionally”. Between albums three and four, Gibson earned an MFA in fiction writing from Hunter College, completing her thesis in the back of a tour van. Her essays have appeared in Talkhouse, the Los Angeles Review and Oregon Humanities Magazine, and she was a 2020 recipient of the McElheny Award from MIT for her work the Timber Wars podcast. She is celebrating the 10th anniversary and pending rerelease of her best known album, Empire Builder, and is currently prepping a new album while very slowly working on a book.
“Laura Gibson has steadily and ambitiously expanded both her music and lyrics, from folky to surreal, spooky and allegorical.”

“It is easy, of course, to throw such adjectives around when faced with something as singularly lovely as Gibson’s voice” – BBC
"So incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crack it open to get to its beating core.”
