This week
• Fresh off its successful run of the Red Sox version of “Damn Yankees,” the Ogunquit Playhouse opens its next show of the summer this week with Dolly Parton’s “9 To 5: The Musical.” This production is based on the movie about three office workers and their plan to get even with their egotistical and hypocritical boss. The scheme spins wildly out of control, and the situation becomes hilarious and chaotic. Patricia Resnick, who co-wrote the original screenplay, wrote the book for this musical, which mixes Broadway and pop.
