Calendar Girls at City Theater

Funny, sincere and just a wee bit naughty.The cast of Calendar Girls will be baring it all (or almost all) at City Theater in Biddeford for 3 weekends in May. Calendar Girls, a comedy by Tim Firth, is based on the true story of a group of ordinary women who did something extraordinary. They decided to appear in a nude calendar in order to raise money to buy a sofa for the visitors room of their local hospital in memory of one of their husbands who died of leukemia. The news of the womens charitable venture spreads like wildfire. The calendar is a success, and their efforts to buy a $5000 sofa resulted in them raising over $5 million dollars for Leukemia Research and the construction of a new wing for the hospital. Calendar Girls will run from May 10th - 26th.
