Calendar Girls
October 12-13, 19-21, 2018

Directed by Kristine Thatcher
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 ever planned. Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.

Featuring: Tanya Canaday Burnham, Laura Stebbins, Candace Myers, Gloria Vivalda, Charlotte Ruppert, Susan DeRosa, Jane Zussman,
Bill Henson, Bruce Bennett, Tyler Frease, Cele Friestater,
Kellie Stonebrook, Greg Pratt, and Anita Calcagno

“It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it leaves you feeling better about life than you did when you entered the theatre.”
—The Telegraph

On Golden Pond
April 26-27, May 3-5, 2019

Directed by Linda Granger
This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, with heart palpitations and a failing memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, the
perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. A touching, funny and warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable elderly couple facing their twilight years.

“On Golden Pond is a work of rare simplicity and beauty…”
—NY Daily News
