The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton is scheduled for Feb. 17. Please email thedctteam@campustheatre.com by Monday, Feb. 16 at noon that you'll be bringing something to read and/or talk about, or we'll cancel this month's meeting.

Congratulations to the all-Play Readers cast and crew of A Need for Less Expertise, which competed in the AACT/TNT QuadFest last weekend and advanced to the state competition (mid-March in Lewisville again). You can see it for yourself at a fundraising performance Feb. 14 at 8 pm--tickets will be $10!

Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 7 pm to read a play out loud.  Last week, we read and adjudicated a submission for the Method and Madness New Plays competition and read Sarah Treem's A Feminine Ending in anticipation of this weekend's auditions.

Those auditions will be held at the DCT POINTBank Black Box on Saturday, Feb. 14, and Sunday, Feb. 15 from 2-5 pm. The Black Box is located at 318 E. Hickory. If needed, callbacks will be held Monday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 pm at the Campus Theatre. The show is directed by Play Reader Mandy Rausch.
