“Calendar Girls” broadcast May 8
to benefit HRVAC, Meals on Wheels
PACT — Performances at
Adult Center Theater — is
broadcasting “Calendar
Girls” on Saturday, May 8
via Zoom, us02web.zoom.
us/j/89364968240, at 4 p.m.
and 7 p.m. There is no ad-
mission charge, but viewers
are encouraged to make a
donation to the Hood River
Valley Adult Center/ Meals
on Wheels program at www.
hrvac.org.
“Calendar Girls” was
originally staged at Wy’east
Performing Arts Center as a
Plays for Non-Profits (PNP)
production in 2017. The play
is based on the Miramax
Motion Picture movie
written by Juliette Towthdi
and Tim Firth. The 2017 PNP
production featured Gorge-
area actresses who not only
gave their all in the show,
but posed for a calendar
with proceeds benefiting
a local women’s shelter
and Soroptimist of Hood
River’s Live Your Dream
Award, said a press release.
Photographer Denise Rehse-
Watson created photos for
the calendar with actresses
in various poses in the pri-
vacy of the Columbia Gorge
Hotel’s Fireside Room. The
results resulted in sales of
more than 200 calendars.
According to Director
Lynda Dallman, the basic
theme of “Calendar Girls” is
that people become stronger
and more resilient when
working together to make a
difference in their communi-
ty. She is proud of this partic-
ular cast and crew as living
proof that amazing things
happen when working for
a cause and helping people
who need it the most. Or, as
Margaret Mead said, “Never
doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed citi-
zens can change the world.”
The show stars Kathleen
Morrow, Barb Berry, Blaire
Carroll, Maren Euwer, Kathy
Williams, Kat Blackmar,
Kate Dougherty, Pennie
Burns, Carol Thayer and
Brenda Hering and features
Tom Butler, Steve Carroll,
Tom Burns and Bill Weiler in
supporting roles.
Thursday thru Saturday and
Monday from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m., Sunday from noon to
4 p.m., and Tuesday and
Wednesday by appointment.
