Play Readers will meet Mar. 2

Play Readers of Denton meets Tuesday, March 2, from 7-9(ish) upstairs at the Campus Theatre. Last week, we read Betty the Yeti, the "eco-fable" by Jon Klein. Comments, anyone?

The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton will be Mar. 16.

Congratulations to Play Reader Damon Wadyko, who has been cast as "Ira" in the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre production of The Tale of the Allergist's Wife. This has been such a favorite script for our reading group, I know a bunch of us will want to go see it--let's talk about car-pooling!

Hope to see you around the Campus--soon!

Play Readers of Denton will meet Feb. 23

Play Readers of Denton will meet again on Tuesday, Feb. 23, from 7-9(ish) pm upstairs at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. Two weeks ago, we read Beth Henley's dark comedy, The Miss Firecracker Contest.

Last week, Playwrights of Denton met to read and talk through a monologue by Rachel and Helen's one-act play, which she is submitting to contest!

The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton will be Mar. 16.

Congratulations to Play Readers Rachel Tillman and Cody Vann, who have been cast in DCT's upcoming Cinderella. Tickets are on sale now.

The Campus Theater is hopping right now--we hope you'll come see us soon!

Playwrights of Denton will meet Feb. 16

Snow in Denton! Will wonders never cease? We seem to have 4-5 inches here at the Campus, and will think about building a snow-actor in between phone calls and ticket sales.

Playwrights of Denton will meet Tuesday, February 16, starting at 7 pm upstairs at the Campus Theatre. Bring us your ideas, your sketches, your scenes and acts yearning to be plays!

Note--"Opening the Black Box," the Second Saturdays Seminar scheduled for Feb. 13, has been CANCELED, due to issues related to our inclement weather. We'll re-schedule for another second Saturday when the weather is more cooperative for a walk around the new venue!

Everything else this weekend, at least as of this posting, is still going on as scheduled. Please check the website, www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com, for updates.

Play Readers will meet Feb. 9

Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Feb. 9, from 7-9(ish) pm upstairs at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. Last week, for the first time in our 4-year history, only one person showed up--Julie thought about reading The Belle of Amherst or Shirley Valentine (or some other one-woman play), but thought better of it and went home to grade papers. Let's hope folks are less busy this week, as grading papers isn't nearly as fun as Play Readers!

Break a leg to all Play Readers/Writers involved in DCT's Cyrano deBergerac, which opens tonight at the Campus Theatre. We hope you all have a swash-buckling good time!

The Second Saturdays Seminar from 1-3 pm on Saturday, Feb. 13, will focus on "Opening the Black Box." Mike Barrow will update participants on DCT's new venue-in-progress, including plans and blueprints, and will also take questions. If you'd like to attend, please let DCT know at thedctteam@campustheatre.com or call 940 382-7014 x3.

We hope to see you around the Campus soon!
