Play Readers will meet Nov. 4 (unless we're washed out)

Play Readers is planning to meet Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud--but with all the rain that we may have, let's just cancel if we're still under a flash flood warning at 6 pm. Some of us old-timers remember the Tuesday night when the Square was completely cut off from the rest of the town by a flash flood--no risking of life, limb, or car transmissions, please!

Last week, in honor of Halloween, we read Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit.

The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton is scheduled for Nov. 18, but we'll need assurances that we'll have several men in attendance to read Claud's new draft.

It's directed by Play Reader Brad Speck, and the cast includes Play Readers John Rodgers, Johnny Williams, Johnny and Amber Bryant, Susanne Coffey, Wes Porter, Karen Gossett, Bryan Thomas Patrick, Jim Stodola, and Dan Creson.
