Play Readers of Denton will NOT meet April 30, because it's the 5th Tuesday in a month. We will next meet May 7 at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre to read a play out loud. Last week, we read Jane Martin's Jack and Jill, and then Franky Gonzalez' Popsicle Kisses.

Playwrights of Denton will next meet May 20 at 7 pm at the Campus Theatre.

Auditions will be Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28 at 2 pm at the Campus Theatre for two short scripts which will receive readings at DCT's Method and Madness Playwriting Festival May 30-June 1. These readings are a great way to work on a show with shorter rehearsal periods and less memorization!

A special "Thank you" to all the Play Readers who volunteered to help at the Clean Up the Campus Day last week: Jessica Phillips; Damon Wadyko; Johnny Williams; Jim Laney; Philip Lamb; Dennis Welch; Elsie Barrow; Pete and Tom Kelly; and Jaime Rodriguez--you really make DCT shine!
