Based on the uplifting and very inspiring true story of a group of extraordinary women; members of a very ordinary Yorkshire WI, persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference. Overcoming their initial reserve, the friends drop their dressing gowns with their modesty spared only by carefully placed cakes, knitting and flower arrangements.
Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they spark a global phenomenon. But as media interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they’d never expected, revealing more than they’d ever planned. A Very English story with a very English heart, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.

Stage Whispers
The whole company’s commitment to the play is warming. All the proceeds from the sale of their program and tea lights of Hope go to the Cancer Council. Those tea lights, which glimmer in the hands of the cast at the end of the play as a silent tribute to those lost to that insidious disease, will become a lasting memory of this tenderly touching production.
