9 to 5 The Musical - City Centre Musical Productions
2025-03-23 14:00 - 16:30 | Meadowvale Theatre, 6315 Montevideo Rd, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 4G7, Canada
Music and Lyrics by DOLLY PARTON Book by PATRICIA RESNICK
Based on the Twentieth Century Fox Film
Originally produced on Broadway by Robert Greenblatt, April 2009
Orchestrator BRUCE COUGHLIN | Arrangements and Additional Orchestrations by STEPHEN OREMUS & ALEX LACAMOIRE

9 to 5 The Musical, set in the late 1970s, is a story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era that is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she? This high-energy show is sure to delight all audiences. – Rated PG 13
​WARNING: Some suggestive scenes written for the time-period of the 1970s and some content may be offensive to some patrons.

9 to 5 The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

You are invited to an Opening Reception of SOVA’s show, The Artistic Viewpoint, Sunday afternoon, March 30 from 1:30 – 3:30 pm, in the Helson Gallery at the Halton Hills Culture Centre in Georgetown. Opening remarks are at 2:00 pm followed by a Conversation Circle with Walk ‘n Talk through the show.
With all 14 members of the Southern Ontario Visual Arts group having pieces in this show, it is a wonderful opportunity to take in a full view, The Artistic Viewpoint, of an eclectic group of fourteen artists who have become friends over the years and a formal exhibition group. As artist member Michelle Eissler has observed, “Artistic Expression occurs when the artist seeks to depict not only objective reality, but rather the subjective emotions and responses to objects and events.”
With strong ties to their local communities, these award-winning artists include: Robert Chisholm, Angela Burden, and Daureen Murphy from the Orangeville area, Lynden Cowan, Helen Duplassie, Margaret Pardy, and Connie Munson of Brampton, Michelle Eissler of Alliston, Lynne Schumacher of Owen Sound, Joanne Lomas of Wassauga Beach, Janice Ykema and Steve Wilson, formerly of Inglewood, now residing in Niagara Falls, Charlene Nickels in Prince Edward Island, and Joanna Turlej of Oakville. Many of the SOVA members have studios at the Alton Mill Arts Centre and along with several others are members of the Headwaters Arts Collective at the Mill.
Lynden Cowan, a founding member, comments on the level of professionalism in the group;” (they) constantly expand the personal boundaries of their skills and are never satisfied with the mundane.” Individually, they exhibit extensively, winning awards and accolades, with some of them showing their work internationally.”

With live music and light refreshments, lively conversations and beautiful art to enjoy in this historic building, do come out to be inspired and refreshed by their view, The Artistic Viewpoint.

Join six members of KUNE Global Music to experience the merging of cultures through music!
KUNE is an eleven-piece collective of ten immigrant musicians from all over the world and one Metis-Canadian. KUNE’s artistic practice captures and recreates the experience of living in Toronto, one of the world’s most diverse cities. The musicians are from Burkina-Faso, China, Cuba and Iraq. The instruments they play are not often played together on stage; like the Tar, the Dizi, the Cajon and the Ngoni. Together KUNE members compose, arrange and perform music that honours their cultural roots and creates connections with others through curiosity, experimentation and dialogue. It is a space to remember our origins and learn from each other’s differences.

Hand-Building History | Clay Workshop
2025-04-05 14:00 - 15:30 | Ontario
This in-person pottery workshop is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition Inside. Outside. Of., and is inspired by the ceramic pieces created by artist Shanie Tomassini that explore themes of ritual, renewable energies, and our relationship to the present and future.
In this workshop, participants will work with Toronto-based, artist and ceramicist, Luke Mohan, to explore the potential of clay to express aspects of personal introspection. Incorporating elements of hand-built pottery making, Luke will lead the group in a discussion on how we are connected to the world around us, and how these contexts shape our lives. They will be encouraged to consider the differences between how they see themselves compared to how they present themselves to the outside world, and learn how clay as a physical, transformative, and earthly material can enhance these explorations.
All materials will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own apron or smock to use for this workshop.
Participants must be 16+ to attend this workshop. We will meet at the Hazel McCallion Central Libary in meeting room 3A.
The program fee helps cover costs and reflects your commitment to attending, ensuring a meaningful experience for all participants.
Thank you to TD Bank Group for funding this workshop.
Thank you to Rama Gaming House and Charitable Gaming, Community Good for their support of this workshop through their charity initiatives which help in the purchase of materials.

About the Facilitator
Luke Mohan is an artist and ceramicist from Toronto. He is a graduate of NSCAD University with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts and a BA in Art History. He is one of the current Resident Artists participating in the City of Mississauga’s Resident Artist Program at the Living Arts Centre.
“I see ceramics as inherently a material born of transformation. I utilize this transformative quality to make sculptures, installations and functional objects that blur the line between the familiar and unfamiliar, finding humour and sincerity there. Ceramics’ physicality, mystery and ubiquity throughout human history serve as inspiration to me when creating new work.” – Luke Mohan
