What do you get when you combine friendship, revenge, Dolly Parton, and perfectly feathered 1970s hair? A musical that will keep you smiling and toe-tapping from start to finish. In early August Twelfth Night Productions is proud to present 9 to 5 The Musical , based on 1980 hit movie, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick. The show will run from August 9 – 18, 2019 at West Seattle High School.
9 to 5 features a powerful trio of women, backed up by an incredible ensemble. Violet, Judy, and Doralee are fed up with the sexist, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. Pushed to the boiling point, they concoct a plan to give him the boot. When these unlikely friends take control of the office, they learn there’s nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world. This high-energy show is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

The Sisters of Providence, in 1923, had just begun building St. Vincent’s Home for the Aged in West Seattle, the precursor to the modern Providence Mount St. Vincent. To help fund St. Vincent’s Home, the nuns charged Sister Daniel with creating a volunteer and fundraising organization among Seattle’s women. Fifty women answered Sister Daniel’s call, forming the Auxiliary.
Inspired by the nuns’ mission to provide housing and care for Seattle’s elderly, the Auxiliary held its first fundraiser in December 1923. It was one of the largest fundraisers Seattle had ever seen, bringing in $14,000, which would be about $208,000 today. Throughout the years, the Auxiliary has continued to hold fundraising events, such as a Spring Party at the Olympic Hotel that donated money to help the nuns buy enough fruit for their yearly canning.

The new King County Passenger Only Facility (POF) serving the Water Taxi and Kitsap Fast Ferry is expected to open Monday, Aug. 12, after a temporary suspension of service for the prior week for construction. That means there will be no Water Taxi or Kitsap Fast Ferry service between Monday, Aug. 5 and Sunday, Aug. 11.
During the closure, crews will transfer equipment, set up necessary hardware for ORCA readers, and move the gangway from Pier 52 to the new facility at Pier 50.
The new terminal is a part of the Colman Dock renovation project and is a significant improvement from the old facility. Environmental work included removing creosote-treated timber piles, capping contaminated sediments, and a "Platinum" certification under the King County Green Building Program. ADA improvements include a tactile path and signage for the visually impaired, an elevator to the pedestrian bridge, and an ADA assistance station.
