“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 admission 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 by Juliette Towthdi and written by 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 privacy of the Columbia Gorge Hotel’s Fireside Room. The results resulted in sales of more than 200 calendars.
