Tumble out of bed and stumble to Winsted for a classic office comedy shown on the big screen!

American Mural Project and Real Art Ways proudly present a screening of "9 to 5" the 1980 smash hit about three women struggling for respect and equity in a toxic workplace. With a stacked cast led by Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dabney Coleman and the late, great Dolly Parton in her motion picture debut, "9 to 5" is equal parts revenge fantasy, feminist rallying cry, and laugh-out-loud comedy.

You're invited to see this iconic film against the backdrop of a five-story mural dedicated to the American worker.

“We are thrilled to welcome friends, followers and members of Real Art Ways to Winsted and our truly breathtaking space. We encourage guests to arrive early to explore our giant mural and the newly opened rAMP Gallery. Since the sad closure of the Gilson Cinema in downtown Winsted, we are happy to partner with Real Art Ways to bring a truly unique moviegoing experience to Northwest Connecticut.” - American Mural Project Executive Director Jennifer Chrein
