“You’ve got dreams he’ll never take away.”

Where would we be without the magic, generosity, and talent of Dolly Parton? Today we mourn her loss and honor her legacy of making the world a better and sparklier place.

TVP was lucky to put on our own production of 9 to 5: The Musical in 2024. Here are some throwback photos in honor of the queen herself. Thank you, Dolly, for creating spaces for lovers of the arts!
