Play Readers will meet August 2

Play Readers will meet Tuesday, August 2, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. If we have enough readers, we'd love to read the new cutting of Macbeth that will be the working script for DCT's October production.

Last week, Play Readers read The Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare (Abridged) and a good time was had by all.

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

DCT's Black Box production of Donna Trammell's That's Life! is sold out for 3 of its 4 performances. There are a few tickets left for Sunday evening, but we expect them to go this afternoon. Call the box office this afternoon at (940)382-1915 to purchase those last few tickets; we don't expect any of them to be available at the door.

Hope to see you at the Campus or the Black Box soon!
