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.

Calendar Girls, by Tim Firth
Directed By Michael Donahue
In this delightful comedy, Annie and her best friend Chris belong to the Women’s institute – a do-good organization in the heart of Yorkshire. When a member’s husband dies of leukemia, the best friends resolve to raise funds, but donations are tight. They persuade fellow Institute members to pose for an “alternative” calendar that attracts media, fame and funds. Based on a true story, Calendar Girls is an uplifting, feel-good story of friendship, ingenuity and triumph. Later made into a popular film, Calendar Girls received the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy and several Golden Globe nominations.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways.

Red Herring, by Michael Hollinger
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!
