“Calendar Girls” will be presented by Minot State’s Summer Theater beginning today, July 10, and continuing through Friday, July 14, in the newly renovated amphitheater.
Doors will open at 8:00 p.m. and the show will begin at 8:30 p.m.
Directed by Robert Hubbard, the play is based on a true story and film of the same name, and features a cast of local female talent. “He’s a real madman with occasional moments of surprising tenderness. I think the audience will laugh a lot, but they will also be moved.” Hubbard said.
“Calendar Girls” tells the story of a group of retired women who decide to raise money in an unusual way: by posing naked in a calendar. Once it goes public, the women become famous and their celebrity status strains their friendships to the breaking point.
“This story is a very sweet and beautiful depiction of friendship. There are some serious moments that definitely tug at the heartstrings, but there’s also a lot of joy that feels so genuine. I think audiences will be able to relate to these women and their follies within their own friendships.” said actress Brittany Armstrong.
The show is not a musical to the music of Neil Sedaka nor will the actors be naked in the production.
