Southgate Community Players is proud to present: "Calendar Girls" as our final play of the 25/26 season!When Annie's husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women's Institute members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame.
Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund and the 2003 film of the same name, "Calendar Girls" opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre and has since become the fastest-selling play in British theatre history.
There will be a scene containing obscured nudity, therefore "Calendar Girls" is recommended for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
This show runs two weekends, April 24-May 2nd. Show times for Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, with one Sunday Matinee on April 26th at 2:30pm. Door will open a half an hour before the show begins.
Opening night on the 24th will be followed by a free Afterglow reception to socialize with cast, crew, and audience. Snacks will be provided!
