Calendar Girls - Gala Night

Last night, we were the first Welsh Amateur Group to raise the curtain on Calendar Girls, on our very special Gala Opening Performance.

The run-up to the show has been a hectic one, with getting the photos for our own charity calendar shot, organised and printed, appearing on the Welsh news (on both BBC and ITV respectively), along with the usual tasks of learning our lines, our moves and sorting the sound and light.

Here are the links documenting the past couple of weeks:

Our Calendar Girls Blog, where the ladies (and gents) of the show have written about their experiences.

The documentaries from ITV and BBC - these include interviews with several members of the theatre, both cast and crew, and some shots of our rehearsals.

The Gala Night was a tremendous success and we would like to thank everybody who was involved in the organisation of the evening, our sponsors and our wonderful audience.
