Play Readers of Denton normally meets the first, second, and fourth Tuesdays of each month, and takes the odd fifth Tuesday off, but not this time! We WILL meet Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre (214 W. Hickory) to read a couple of one-acts out loud (and then individually evaluate them). Play Readers is currently charged with helping to read and evaluate entries for DCT's Method and Madness playwriting competition, and we need to meet as often as we can. Plus, it's so much more fun to read them out loud together!
The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton will be Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre.
The Second Saturdays Seminars on Feb. 11 and March 10 (1-3 pm at the Campus Theatre) will continue the work of reading and evaluating these competition entries. Adjudication training is fast and easy!
Laughter on the 23rd Floor opens this weekend, and includes a cast full of Play Readers: Damon Wadyko, Dennis Welch, Johnny Bryant, Brian Patrick, and Pat Watson! More info (and rehearsal pictures) at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/Laughteronthe23rdFloorinfo.htm.
Auditions are coming up for DCT's Mainstage production of Little Women and Black Box production of Dog Sees God. More info at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/AuditionAnnouncements.htm.
The Campus is, as always, a busy place--hope to see YOU here!

Play Readers will meet Jan. 24
Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre (214 W. Hickory, Denton) to read a play or two out loud. For the next few weeks, Play Readers will be reading entries in the DCT Method and Madness Playwriting competition, so readers (and adjudicators) are in great demand!
Playwrights of Denton met last Tuesday, but since so many of our playwrights had just submitted for the competition, turnout was sparse. Playwrights of Denton will next meet Feb. 21 at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre.
The Second Saturdays Seminars on Feb. 11 and Mar. 10 (from 1-3 at the Campus Theatre) will be devoted to reading and adjudicating plays for the Method and Madness competition. At the Second Saturdays Seminar this past week, we had so much fun reading two plays out loud and then individually filling out evaluation forms that we decided to try it again (note: we don't and won't read plays by local playwrights at these public events).
Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, directed by Play Reader Brad Speck, opens this weekend at the POINTBank Black Box down the street from the Campus on East Hickory. More info at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/blackbox.htm.
Auditions are coming up for two DCT shows: Little Women at the Campus and Dog Sees God at the Black Box. Info is posted at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/AuditionAnnouncements.htm.
Laughter on the 23rd Floor opens Jan. 27 at the Campus and runs until Feb. 5. The cast includes a bunch of Play Readers past and present! More info at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/Laughteronthe23rdFloorinfo.htm.
Hope to see you at the Campus or the Black Box soon!

Play Readers will meet January 10
Play Readers is 6 years old! We started on a very cold night in January, 2006, at the Emily Fowler Library, and the very first play we read was David Auburn's Proof. By the following week, we had moved to the North Branch Library, and within a few months we were the first program incorporated into Denton Community Theatre's then-new Outreach program.
Last week, Play Readers started the new year with an oldie-but-goodie, Jack Heifner's Vanities. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 10, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre.
The next meeting for Playwrights of Denton will be Tuesday, January 17, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre. But before then, the postmark date for the new Method and Madness Playwriting Competition is Saturday, January 14th, so get those one-acts in! First prize is $2000, and the top five winners will receive a staged reading at the Method and Madness Playwriting Festival, May 31-June 3, in addition to cash prizes. More info at http://www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com/PlaywritingCompetitionMainPage.htm.
If playwriting isn't your thing (or you don't have time to get something entered), you can still be an important part of the competition and festival by volunteering to adjudicate. Adjudicators will be asked to read and evaluate a minimum of five one-act scripts. Feel unsure about evaluating? There's a form to guide you, with spaces for brief comments to help the playwrights. And if you want even more guidance the Second Saturdays Seminar on Saturday, January 14th, will be on--wait for it--"Reading and Evaluating New Plays," including use of the adjudication form. (You don't have to volunteer to adjudicate to attend the workshop, and you don't have to attend the workshop if you volunteer to adjudicate.) The workshop will be led by Julie Brinker, DCT Outreach Director, from 1-3 pm at the Campus Theatre. For more info, or to reserve a spot, call 940 382-7014 x3 or email thedctteam@campustheatre.com.
Congratulations to Play Readers Damon Wadyko, Dennis Welch, Johnny Bryant, Brian Patrick, and Pat Watson, who have all been cast in DCT's next Mainstage production, Laughter on the 23rd Floor! The show runs Jan. 27-Feb. 5. Tickets are available at the Box Office (M-F 1-5 pm): 940 382-1915 or online at www.campustheatre.com.
