Script to Be Read: Calendar Girl (A Comedy)Date: Wed. June 29, 2022

Location: Elberton Arts Ctr, 17 W. Church St. Elberton, GA 30635
Monthly meetings where the scripts of shows that are being considered for future seasons at the Elbert Theatre will be read out loud by volunteers. It is a great opportunity to learn what the shows are about that are coming up in the schedule – especially if you plan to audition for any of them! It will be very similar to a first read-thru rehearsal of a show. Folks will be randomly assigned roles to read out loud and the show will be read from start to finish. (If the show director is present at the reading, he/she can decide who reads what part.) Feel free to bring snacks to share. This event is very casual, free to participate and will usually end around 8pm depending on the length of the script read.
Feel free to suggest shows for future seasons! We keep a running list every year and try to do shows that our audiences would like to see! Contact [email protected] for more info.
Show Synopsis: When Annie's husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women's Institute members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame.
Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund.
9 women, 4 men
