Nancy Mortimore (Lady
Cravenshire) Nancy is thrilled to
be a part of this funny, yet
touching play! And, to appear
with women whom she has
admired on stage always. This
marks her 17th show with TCR,
but her first non-musical. Check
that off the “bucket list”! Her
favorites are Fiddler on the Roof
(‘78, ‘89, ‘08) and Man of La
Mancha (‘84, ‘05). Nancy also
is a 23 year veteran of the Cedar
Rapids Follies. Away from
theater, she was a teacher in
Cedar Rapids (Taft and
Kennedy) for 32 years, and now
is a volunteer for the Cedar
Rapids Museum of Art (docent),
St. Luke’s Auxiliary (Past
President), and belongs to
three book clubs, including the
Wednesday Shakespeare Club.
She wants to thank her family,
Steve, Jamie and Andie, and
Denise and Brad, for their
support all these years,
especially Steve, who has spent
many hours as a bachelor/
groupie.... ”Thanks, Honey!”
Marty Norton (Annie) Marty
has been seen happily
playing on area stages for the
past twenty or so years. She will
be forever indebted to directors
Richard, Jason, Leslie, Jim,
J David, and Angie, for their
brilliant and patient teaching,
and to the dear friends she has
made on this journey. Naked
acting is something new and the
ultimate cast bonding
experience! Love to her fellow
Calendar Girls cast, and as
always, to Don and Jessie.
“Thank you for continuing to
attend live theater!”
Anne Ohrt (Celia) Anne feels
beyond blessed and is so thrilled
to be part of this amazing
Calendar Girls cast. Anne was
last seen on the TCR stage in
Mary Poppins as Mrs. Winifred
Banks and last fall as Cinderella’s
Stepmother in Into the Woods.
Outside of TCR, Anne’s roles
include: Facilities Manager,
Apple Farmer, Baker, Private
Piano/Voice Teacher and most
importantly wife and Mom. Anne
would like to send many thanks to
Angie for the opportunity to be a
part of this show and would also
like to send a great big thank you
to Shane for being a rock star
dad and for always encouraging
her to pursue her love of
performing. “These characters
will show you that: ‘Life isn’t
about waiting for the storm to
pass - it is about learning how to
dance in the rain.’ Enjoy!”
