A popular amateur dramatics society is on the lookout for office workers.

However, there are three stipulations for the job role – they must be able to sing, dance and act!

The Lowestoft Players are seeking workers to perform on stage for the popular theatrical society’s forthcoming production of 9 to 5 the Musical - with an information evening for performers being held next Wednesday, July 6.

With a rip-roaring score by the Queen of Country, 9 to 5 the Musical tells the story of three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss.

Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their supervisor, will the ladies manage to reform their office - or will events unravel when the Chief Executive Officer pays an unexpected visit?

Inspired by the iconic 80s film and brought to Lowestoft by Dolly Parton herself, this hilarious production is about teaming up, standing up and taking care of business.

The show will be performed at the Players Theatre in Lowestoft from October 7 to October 16, 2022.

Long-standing member of the Lowestoft Players Stephen Wilson will be co-directing the production along with Shirley Hurren.

Mr Wilson said: “This is a great comedy musical.

"We are looking for confident male and female performers aged 16 upwards.

"We need actors who can sing, singers who can act and actors and singers who can dance, or at least move a bit!” he added.
