Calendar Girls // Missoula Community Theatre
January 17th - 27th
MCT welcomes to you to their January! " 'The flowers of Yorkshire are like the women of Yorkshire. Every stage of their growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious'.This beautiful line from Calendar Girls is true of both flowers and the colorful characters in this true story from the late 1990's in the UK. It reveals that sometimes, out of tragedy, comes the most unexpected real-life comedy." - MCT.  Click here for:  More Info & Tickets!
