Play Readers will meet Dec. 4

Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. Last week, we read Caryl Churchill's dystopian A Number. This Tuesday, we've got a copy of Everybody Comes to Rick's, the original play that Casablanca is based on, to read if we have enough readers (thanks to Play Reader Suzanne Sweeney). Won't that be fun?

Because of the way the December holidays fall on the calendar this year, Playwrights of Denton won't meet until Jan. 15.

The Second Saturdays Seminar on Dec. 8 (1-3 at the Campus Theatre) will focus on reading and adjudicating 2 or 3 of the plays submitted to the Method and Madness Playwriting Festival. It's a great way to hear some brand-new plays!

It's a Wonderful Life opens Dec. 7 and runs until Dec. 16. More info at the DCT website, www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com.

Top Hats and Tiles runs Nov. 1-4 at 7:30 pm at the POINTBank Black Box Theatre, 318 E. Hickory St., to honor the generous donors who have purchased commemorative tiles as a fundraiser for the renovation of the space. Play Readers and Writers of Denton will have a place-holder tile until ours is finished and put up. Tickets are $15 each, and seating is limited to 80 for each performance. Conceived and directed by Donna Trammell, this lively production features five of DCT’s favorite female vocalists – Sherna Armstrong, Maria Harris, Kay Lamb, Pat Sherman, and Katie Moyes Williams – with John Priddy at the keyboard.  This special event “tips a hat to the ladies of Broadway” with an evening of songs from shows with women in the title …  from Aida and Annie to The Unsinkable Molly Brown.  Special guest and tile donor Bob Rogers will entertain at the piano during the tile wall preview and reception before each performance.
