MICHIGAN CITY — “The Pin-Up Girls” opens July 5 and continues through July 15 at Canterbury Summer Theatre, 807 Franklin St.

From The Andrew Sisters to hip-hop, from World War I to Afghanistan, the Pin-Up Girls sing a cavalcade of popular hits inspired by letters home from U.S. troops overseas.

While singing at their local VFW hall, Leanne and her friends stumble upon a huge stash of letters that go back a hundred years. Inspired by what they find — funny, romantic, heartbreaking and sexy — the ladies put on a show that celebrates the guys and gals who fight to defend our country.

The musical is written by James Hindman and Jeffrey Lodin and directed by Canterbury veteran Lari Leber.
