A poignant comedy based on the 2003 film of the same name, Calendar Girls is the story of a group of members of the Women’s Institute (WI) in Yorkshire, England who prepare and publicize an unusual “alternative calendar” to raise funds for a purpose they believe in. Two best friends persuade four other women to join them in this venture, and soon their friendship is put to the test as a result of the pressures of new-found fame. Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls is a funny, moving show about friendship, courage, passion, and risk-taking. You won’t want to miss it! Produced by Kathy Meade | Directed by Benjamin Simpson |
