Edinburgh People's Theatre (EPT) are well known for presenting a broad variety of productions ranging from straight drama through to the fun of the Christmas Pantomime. Our year is based around a schedule of up to five productions (including the Festival Fringe which we have been performing in since 1947) so there's always plenty going on for people to join in with, whatever their level of interest and experience both on stage and off.
Our spring production, Calendar Girls by Tim Firth, will be performed at the Church Hill Theatre, Morningside Road, from Wednesday 27th to Saturday 30th May 2026. We look forward to seeing you there - details are listed below.
Based upon the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls was first presented by David Pugh Ltd at the Chichester Festival Theatre on 5th September 2008. It transferred to the Noel Coward Theatre, London on 4th April 2009 and has since become the fastest-selling play in British theatre history.
