THE annual summer show from The Theatre Workshop proved a huge hit with audiences.

Held at Haute Vallée Theatre at Haute Vallée School, 9 to 5 was an adaptation of the classic American comedy about three working women who live out their fantasies of getting even with their bigoted male boss, and was directed by The Theatre Workshop’s founder Scott Livingstone.

He said: ‘9 to 5 starred 33 talented young Theatre Workshop students.

‘They learned the show in just ten days and then performed it four times at the theatre over a single weekend.

‘They performed to over 600 people and there was a standing ovation at every show.’
