Based on the real-life events that inspired the movie of the same name, CALENDAR GIRLS was written by Tom Firth. The show makes its Michigan premiere at Meadow Brook Theatre on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester from March 16 through April 10, 2016. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in costume below!
Annie and her friend, Chris, are dedicated to the support of their local hospital. To raise funds they know they need something special to put them on the map. The ladies persuade four fellow Women's Institute members to pose nude for a special calendar. Partnering with the hospital porter and amateur photographer, Lawrence, they publish an artistic creation. The calendar is a great success, bringing fame-and all the trials that come with it-to the ladies and small town.
Starring: Debbie Williams as Annie Clarke and Julie Glander as Chris Harper are joined by Stacy White as Cora Cleave, Mary Gant as Jessie Raistrick, Mary Jo Cuppone as Celia, Stephanie Nichols as Ruth, Dorry Peltyn as Marie. The rest of the cast includes Ruth Crawford (Brenda Hulse and Lady Cravenshire), Richard Marlatt, (John Clarke), Phil Powers (Rod Harper), Garett Michael Harris (Lawrence Snugden and Liam) and Kimberly Alley (Elaine).
CALENDAR GIRLS is directed by Travis W. Walter. Terry Carpenter is the stage manager, with set design by Jen Price Fick, costumes by Liz Goodall, lighting by Reid G. Johnson and sound by Mike Duncan.
