Play Readers of Denton will meet Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 7 pm to read a play out loud. We have another play that the Method and Madness Competition folks has asked us to read and adjudicate, so we'll try to do that one, and perhaps another short published script. Last week, we adjudicated one entry and read Paul Rudnick's I Hate Hamlet.

The next meeting of Playwrights of Denton is scheduled for Feb. 17. Please email thedctteam@campustheatre.com as soon as you know that you'll be bringing something to read and/or talk about.

DCT's Black Box production of Nicky Silver's The Food Chain opens tonight and runs Feb. 6-8 (Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2 pm). The hilarious (but profane--so be warned) comedy is directed by Play Reader Mandy Rausch, and features Play Readers Travis Barth, Melissa Sims, and Aaron Martin in the cast. Tickets are $15, and seating at the Black Box is always limited, so make your plans as soon as you can.

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!
