Last week, Play Readers got the holiday season started by reading the Jones/Hope/Wooten Texas comedy, Christmas Belles. (Play Reader Kim Campbell is currently performing the role of Frankie in Greater Lewisville Community Theatre's production--break a leg, Kim!)
The Campus Theatre is closed for the holidays Dec. 20-31, so the next meeting of Play Readers will be Jan. 4; the next meeting of Playwrights of Denton will be Jan. 18.
Kyla Welch is leading the Second Saturdays Seminar on Dec. 11 from 1-3; the workshop's topic will be Props--how to make, find, borrow, and/or buy them for a production. The seminar is specifically geared toward the novice who would like to help with props under the guidance of a more experienced Propsmaster. All Second Saturdays Seminars are free and reservations are not required. Still, we appreciate knowing how many people to plan for, so please email thedctteam@campustheatre.com or call 940 382-7014 x3 to rsvp.
Christmas at the Campus runs this weekend only! Act 1 features Play Readers Shirley Ludlow and Joanna Ludlow-Clowers in The Second Shepherds' Play and Act 2's Christmas Pie...A Madrigal Farce and Feaste stars DCT favorites Buster Maloney, Kay Lamb, Lindsay Keffer, Polly Maynard, Donna Trammell, and Bob Rogers.

Improvisation, or performing spontaneously, is considered to be a crucial aspect of performer training today, working on basic skills like listening, concentration, confidence, and performing instinctively and spontaneously. Through exercises and games, performers learn to act and react in the moment, deepening their ability to behave believably in imaginary circumstances on stage or screen.
Space in the workshop is limited. Call 940 382-7014 x3 or email thedctteam@campustheatre.com as soon as possible to reserve a spot.

Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 7 pm upstairs at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. August 31 will be the rare 5th Tuesday of a month, so we'll be taking a break that night.

The Second Saturdays Seminar will be a "Take 2" of the Season Overview seminar in August.

So we'll try again on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 1-3 pm upstairs at the Campus Theatre. The seminar is free, but reservations are encouraged. The Second Saturdays Seminars are a free adult-education series about various aspects of the theatre, from backstage to onstage to front-of-house operations.
