BOS - Billericay Operatic Society

30/03/2026

Inspired by the original ‘Calendar Girls’ who by the end of 1999 had sold over 88,000 copies of their calendar and since then have raised in excess of £6 million for blood cancer research we wanted to get involved with the fundraising action!

Throughout show week we were delighted to be joined by volunteers from the Brentwood, Hutton and Billericay Branch of Blood Cancer UK who celebrate their 60th birthday this year and who themselves have raised in excess of £1.25 million for blood cancer research.

We are delighted that our combined fundraising efforts throughout the week raised £1,790. Thank you to our audiences who supported this incredibly worthy cause.

🌻 Introducing Lindsay Carpenter-Oliver as Annie 🌻

We are thrilled that Lindsay Carpenter-Oliver will play the role of Annie in our upcoming and almost entirely sold out production of Calendar Girls: The Musical at the Brentwood Theatre that opens this evening!

Annie is the emotional heart of Calendar Girls: The Musical — warm, kind and quietly resilient. Married to the much‑loved John Clarke, her world is built around love, loyalty and shared laughter, making the challenges she faces all the more poignant.

Through Annie, we see the strength that comes from friendship and community, as well as the courage it takes to keep moving forward when life takes an unexpected turn. Her journey is tender, honest and deeply moving — reminding us all what really matters 💛
