“Watching and enjoying Calendar Girls, I felt as if I were observing a group of best friends..”

“Watching and enjoying Calendar Girls, I felt as if I were observing a group of best friends, and it was a thrill to watch it all unfold. [Author Tim] Firth’s script is witty and showcases an inspirational story, which [Director Michael] Donahue successfully brought to life. Funny and moving, Providence Players of Fairfax’s heartfelt Calendar Girls will make for a night to remember in the theater.” – Lauren Katz, DcMetroTheaterArts

Susan Garvey as Annie and Jayne Victor as Chris

In this delightful comedy, based on the award winning, hit British film starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, Annie and her best friend Chris persuade their women friends of a “certain age” to pose for an alternative calendar to raise money for leukemia research. The calendar’s success attracts hordes of media, much fame and fortune but strains the friendships. Calendar Girls is a funny, uplifting, story of friendship, ingenuity and triumph. This cheeky international hit, based on the true story of 11 women who went “the Full Monty” for charity, now comes to the Providence Players stage at the James Lee Community Center Theater.

Directed by Beth Hughes-Brown

Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this noir comedy about marriage and other explosive devices. It’s 1952: America’s on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower’s on the campaign trail, and I Love Lucy’s on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy’s daughter just got engaged to a soviet spy, and a Boston detective has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor.  Love, laughter and espionage – the perfect evening out!
