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!
