Bringing Calendar Girls to the Stage Part 2

Highland's Little Theatre production ofCalendar Girlsis only days away from hitting the stage at the Northern Lights Pavillion and the cast and crew are hard at work. There's a lot to do, but hopes are high that on opening night, Tuesday, March 24rth everyone will be ready.This is part 2 of the Back on the Boards series. Last time we met the director Jack Brezina, Kate Butler and Stage Manager Amy Brohme. This time we're hearing from a few more locals who are taking to the stage, a couple who've done it regularly and a senior citizen taking up acting in her 70's.Calendar Girlsis a play based on a true story about a group of ladies, members of the Women's Institute in Yorkshire, England. The play follows the story of how an enduring friendship between two women helps heal the pain the loss of a spouse to cancer and the subsequent eyebrow-raising fundraiser the women take part in. Six local women bring that touching and often humorous story to life. But behind them are the strong and loving men who support their efforts, despite all the headaches and attention they attract.
