CALENDAR GIRLS
1st – 4th AUGUST AT THE TURNER CENTRE
Announcing Calendar Girls, A Calendar and a Competition
A heart-warming, funny and moving play that has toured around the world and raised money for many Cancer charities, Calendar Girls is inspired by a true story. When the husband of a Yorkshire Women’s Institute member falls ill with cancer, the group are determined to raise money for a new sofa in the hospital waiting room. But how? A calendar, and not just any calendar!
The loveable cast of mature ladies decide to be bold and go nude for their cause, and they consequently take not only Yorkshire by storm, but the whole world! With fun, frolics and poignant scenes, this feel-good play has everything.
The Charity of Our Choice
The Stage Door Theatre Company have chosen the NZ Child Cancer Foundation as the recipient of $5 from every ticket sale.
Our Own Calendar : On Sale in July
On top of that, Stage Door are producing their very own calendar! The Kerikeri Calendar Girls Calendar, kindly funded by local businesses and photographed by Flash Gordon Photography @Take Five Agency, will be available to purchase before, during and after the show from their photo shoot locations around town, and with a donation of each sale also going to the NZ Child Cancer Foundation.
Win Two Tickets
Alongside the calendar, we’ll be running a series of blog posts, one for each month of the calendar, over the next two months. If you can correctly guess the public locations used for the calendar photography, you’ll go into a draw to WIN TWO TICKETS to the show.

Hellhole of the Pacific 2019
Anniversary Weekend : Russell
Rehearsals are under way for the popular street-theatre Hell Hole of the Pacific event in Russell that re-enacts the bawdy days of Kororāreka of the mid-1800s.
The 30-strong cast has been strengthened by experienced actors from the Stage Door Theatre Company in Kerikeri. The company’s last production was Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood at the Turner Centre.
Stage Door Artistic Director, David Crewe, said the theatrical company is keen to present community theatre in all its form, not just big-name shows.
“Street theatre like the Hell Hole of the Pacific is a terrific idea and well established on the Russell calendar. It strengthens our collective acting skills and is so much fun to be involved.”
Hell Hole of the Pacific street theatre has three free performances daily – 10am, 12.30pm and 2.00pm – over Anniversary Weekend, 26th and 27th January 2019.
