Exclusive Interview: Randy Stewart of Stagecrafters’ ‘Calendar Girls’
Who says making a difference requires keeping your clothes on? Sometimes, changing the world means stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing a little vulnerability, and having the courage to bare it all. That’s the wonderfully cheeky premise behind Calendar Girls, a heartwarming and hilarious story that proves friendship, determination, and a healthy dose of British humor can accomplish some pretty extraordinary things.
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, we sit down with director Randy Stewart to discuss Stagecrafters’ production of Calendar Girls, a play inspired by the remarkable true story of ordinary women who decide to do something decidedly extraordinary for a cause close to their hearts. What begins as an unconventional fundraising idea quickly becomes a celebration of friendship, empowerment, resilience, and the beauty of embracing life at every age. Stewart takes us behind the curtain to explore what drew him to this beloved story, the challenges of balancing laugh-out-loud comedy with genuinely touching moments, and the importance of bringing authenticity and humanity to characters who have captured audiences’ hearts worldwide. Along the way, we explore how a seemingly outrageous idea can reveal something surprisingly profound about courage, community, and the lengths people will go to for those they love.
