Two general calls: Hello, Dolly needs an Assistant Stage Manager; contact thedctteam@campustheatre if you're interested. (Performance dates are April 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13.)

And...we're looking for some floor space to paint large backgrounds on. We need a space that's a minimum of 8x14 square feet up to an ideal space that's large enough to paint a 12x24 square foot backdrop. This is a temporary need for a month or less. Does anyone have a barn or hangar or storage building that we could use? If so, just email (you guessed it) thedctteam@campustheatre.com.

It seems quiet here this week at the Campus, but there's a lot in the pipeline. Stay tuned for shows and auditions!

Play Readers will meet Feb. 11

Play Readers will meet Tuesday, Feb. 11 to read and adjudicate two more Method and Madness entries, if we haven't finished them up on Saturday. There's light at the end of the tunnel, folks--thanks to all of you who have worked so hard to get this round adjudicated!

Playwrights of Denton will resume our usual format on Feb. 18, 2014, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre. We have a new playwright who is bringing a script that calls for 10 men (although I've warned him that, community theatre being what it is, we'll probably have some women reading those roles). Please come if you're able!  And if you're bringing something and need readers, please email thedctteam@campustheatre.com as soon as possible!

The Second Saturdays Seminar on Feb. 8 (1-3 pm at the Campus Theatre) will focus on adjudicating scripts for Method and Madness.

Congratulations to Play Readers Pat Watson, Damon Wadyko, Lindsay Keffer, and Jessica Phillips who have all been cast for DCT's MainStage production of Hello, Dolly! Break a leg!

Play Readers will meet Tuesday, Feb. 4 to read and adjudicate two more Method and Madness entries. But because of the just-in-time-for-the-deadline number of entries, the ice storm, the holidays, and now the flu, we're seriously behind on adjudicating. Please come whenever you can if you're able!

We'll use the January 21, 2014, Playwrights meeting to adjudicate and each Play Readers through February. But the good news is that, overall, we've had really high-quality scripts.

Play Readers will meet Jan. 14

With our first meeting on January 7, 2014 (at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre), Play Readers celebrated a full 8 years of reading plays out loud together. We've come a long way from that first meeting at the Emily Fowler, when Dave, Steve, Damon, Lynn, and Julie read Proof for the very first time! This time, we read and adjudicated three more Method and Madness entries.

Speaking of adjudication, we'll need to use the January 21, 2014, Playwrights meeting to adjudicate as well as the Jan. 11 Second Saturdays Seminar, and each Play Readers through February. Almost all of our playwrights submitted right at the deadline, so we haven't been able to get a jump on adjudicating. But the good news is that, so far, we've had really high-quality scripts.

Playwrights of Denton will resume our usual format on Feb. 18, 2014, at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre.
