Play Readers will meet Feb. 2

Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Feb. 2, upstairs at the Campus Theatre from 7-9(ish) pm to read a play out loud. Last week, we read Katie Forgette's bittersweet family comedy, The O'Connor Girls.

The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton will be Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 7 pm.

Mark your calendars now for the Second Saturdays Seminar on Feb. 13 from 1-3 pm! Mike Barrow, DCT Managing Director, will host “Opening the Black Box,” which will present plans and news about DCT’s second-venue-in-progress. If you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about, this is the place to learn everything about the new facility down Hickory Street from the Campus Theatre. Frequent questions like: “Just what is a black box?”; “What will you do with it?”; “Who will get to use it?”; “When will it open?”; and “How can I book it?” will be addressed. Please let the theatre know if you're planning to attend by emailing thedctteam@campustheatre.com or calling 940 382-7014 x3.
