Stage Door Theatre: 1/29 – 2/14
Tim Firth’s “Calendar Girls” is based upon
the 2003 Touchstone movie of the same title that starred Helen Mirren and Julie
Walters. This film received the British Award for Best Comedy Film and Mirren
and Walters were nominated for Golden Globes for their performances.
Deborah Curtis, who was recently seen as
the Widow Paroo in “The Music Man” at Boetcher Concert Hall, and Gina Walker,
who played the Bogle in Vintage Theatre’s hit “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol,”
lead a cast that features the women of Stage Door Theatre’s Adult Company.
Both the film and the play are based on
actual events involving some working-class British ladies who became famous for
posing in the nude for a calendar to help fund a leukemia ward at their local
hospital.
When one of their husbands dies of
Leukemia, the others form a support group for the grieving widow.
As it is in any play directed by Pamela
Clifton, there are lots more laughs than tears. This is especially true in the
hysterically funny scene in which the ladies arrive for the tastefully risqué
photo shoot for the calendar.
"Calendar Girls" reminded this reviewer a lot of “The
Full Monty.” Only this time it’s cast with a bevy of adorable and bodacious
ladies!
If you need a good laugh I would recommend
that you get on up to Stage Door Theater in Conifer. You’ll have to hurry though.
The show ends Sunday.
