When Annie's husband dies of cancer, she and her 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 benefiting the Leukemia Research Fund. The news of the women's brave charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village in the Yorkshire Dales. Inspired by true events, CALENDAR GIRLS is the heart-warming tale of ordinary women who achieved something extraordinary.

"At its core, CALENDAR GIRLS is about friendship and being there for one another," says director Lon Barrera, "That's why I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to tell this story. The family that you choose is an incredible bond and these ladies prove that. To quote the show, 'the last phase is the most glorious' and I can't wait to show the audiences how true that is!"

CALENDAR GIRLS stars Sid Curtis (Chris), Sherri Small (Annie), Sheila Rose (Cora), Lana K. Hoover (Jessie), Lindsay Hayward (Celia), Carrie Blake (Ruth),Lucia A. Welch (Marie), Shannon Conboy (Elaine), Trich Zaitoon (Lady Cravenshire/Brenda Hulse), Clayton Cunningham (John), Michael McNiel (Rod) and Travis Ponikiewski (Lawrence/Liam).
