9 to 5
This free outdoor film screening celebrates National Dolly Parton Day with a presentation of the classic comedy *9 to 5* at the REACH. The film follows three secretaries who share a resentment of their egotistical, sexist boss and seize an unexpected opportunity to take revenge, transforming their male-dominated workplace into a model office as their plan spirals into chaotic complications.
The screening features Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman, and is accompanied by a celebration of Parton’s Kennedy Center Honors legacy. Guests are encouraged to dress in Dolly-inspired style, including rhinestones, fringe, big hair, boots, and other festive attire.
