Wellington Repertory Theatre
presents the hit play Calendar Girls from 10-20
April, taking advantage of the strictly limited release of
the amateur rights to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma
research.
Calendar Girls is based on the
true story of a group of Yorkshire Women’s Institute
members who posed nude for a calendar in aid of charity
after the death of one of their husbands from non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma. Attracting more attention than they ever bargained
for, they find themselves revealing more to one another than
they had expected.
Reflecting the unprecedented
worldwide demand for the rights to Calendar Girls,
over 20 community theatre groups around New Zealand are
staging the play this year. Wellington Repertory’s
production is one of the first and the only one in central
Wellington.
“One of the most popular plays ever,
our production has attracted a very experienced cast and
crew. We encourage people to book early to avoid
disappointment,” said Ewen Coleman, Director.
The
production runs from 10-20 April (excluding Monday 15 April,
and production times vary) at the Gryphon Theatre, Ghuznee
Street, Wellington.
To book tickets, email bookings@wellingtonrepertory.org.nz,
or call 479 3393. Tickets prices are $25 waged, $20 unwaged,
$18 for pre-paid groups of 10 or
more.
