9 to 5

In 9 to 5, a group of female office workers—the all-knowing manager who trained the boss but can’t get promoted (Lily Tomlin), a befuddled newcomer (Jane Fonda) and an alluring personal secretary everyone presumes is having an affair (Dolly Parton)—all band together to seek revenge on the man who is making their lives miserable. Directed by Colin Higgins and produced by Bruce Gilbert from a screenplay by Higgins and Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5 received an Academy Award nomination for the hit title song written and performed by Dolly Parton. Disney will donate net proceeds from each U.S. ticket purchase to The Dollywood Foundation to support its flagship program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

The Living Declaration with Ted Widmer

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 250 years after they were written, these words remain at once familiar and startling. What do they mean to us today? Do we understand them in the same way the Founders did? Historian and former presidential speechwriter Ted Widmer seeks to answer these questions by returning to where the nation’s story began, the Declaration of Independence, to trace the remarkable history of how it came to be and how it has shaped the democratic aspirations of Americans and other peoples for more than two centuries. Weaving together more than sixty fascinating original texts, in The Living Declaration, Widmer finds in the words of succeeding generations of Americans—radicals and conservatives, revolutionary insurgents and civil rights leaders, presidents and philosophers—the key to understanding the extraordinary durability of America’s founding ideas. Moderated by Playhouse Founder John Farr.
