Show Information

Hilarious pop musical celebrating female friendship. A salute to corporate sisterhood and workplace revenge! Three women - an overworked office manager, a jilted wife, and an objectified secretary - conspire to depose their smarmy boss. The goal - to make their workplace a better environment for all. More Information Found Here.

Content Notice:

We will be working from the premise that, while this original story was brought to film in the 1980's, the issues are ongoing in the 2020's. We will explore together how to accurately develop our own story of women's treatment in the workplace. We will find our unique manner of sharing this fun-loving and yet unnerving story together through our rehearsal process.

There will be a consent form attached to the audition form that we encourage you to fill out.

-No songs from the show please.
-Consider songs that contain:
