8/5-6 - Auditions for "Calendar Girls" at Starlight Dinner Theatrewill be heldSunday and Monday, August 5th and 6that Rising Star Studio of Dance Arts in DeWitt at 7 pm. Studio is located at 211 S. Bridge Street downtown DeWitt right behind Jon E. Arendsen Designs north of the bridge.
"Calendar Girls" will be directed by Kristine Thatcher, and show dates are October 12, 13, 19, 20 & 21 (21st show at 2 pm).
Based on a true story: A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute (WI) persuade one another to pose for a very special charity calendar. Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they spark a global phenomenon. But as media interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they’d never expected, revealing more than they’d every planned. Calendar Gils ids quirky. poignant and hilarious.
