Old Pueblo Playwrights weekly Zoom meeting 4-28-25
From: David Zinke <dzinkmeister@yahoo.com>
Sent: Monday, April 28, 2025 5:52 AM
Subject: Reminder/Invitation to attend OPP weekly Zoom meeting 4-28-25
Old Pueblo Playwrights cordially invite you to attend their weekly Zoom meeting Monday, April 28, 2025 beginning at 7 pm, This will be a Zoom only meeting. No one will be at St. Fancis. Zoom link below.

BOARD MEETING FOLLOWS THE READING/DISCUSSION
Agenda items:
1. Our current rules for a vote into the New Play Festival call for a secret ballot, after which the two people assigned by the president to count the paper ballots are the only ones who know the results. None of that is workable anymore, and we need to change it.
2. I don't want to talk nuts and bolts about our critique process, but I would like to get a consensus from the board on how to proceed with this examination of the critique. Open meetings? A special committee? I've received or read about a dozen lengthy proposals on what we should do instead of the current procedure, so this may be a lengthy process.

LTW presents The Minutes
The Minutes
April 25, 2025 - May 18, 2025
by Tracy Letts
Directed by Rhonda Hallquist
This scathing Pulitzer Prize-nominated comedy unravels a web of secrets, power struggles, and dark truths lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. From the author of August: Osage County, Tracy Letts infuses this story with his signature wit delivering moments of uproarious humor as a cast of very recognizable city council members let their idiosyncrasies fly. Unable to locate the minutes from the previous meeting, or move beyond their pet projects, the city council devolves into ridiculously reenacting their town history for their newest member who is full of questions and doubts about his new role. With razor-sharp wit,unflinching honesty, and a healthy dose of comedy, The Minutes is a gripping exploration of the complexities of power and the fragility of democracy. Don’t miss your chance to witness this explosive drama and side-splitting comedy that has captivated audiences and critics alike. “Astonishing... a pitch black comedy about the current state of American politics.” – Chicago Sun-Times “The Minutes is also quite funny, silly even…But the questions Letts poses – what are you willing to do, what are you willing to ignore, what are you willing to forget to preserve your ‘cocoon of comfort’? – are provocative. And perennial.” – Daily Herald The Minutes by Tracy Letts runs April 25th through May 18th, 2025. Showings Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm. Sundays at 3:00 pm. Directed by Rhonda Hallquist and starring Dawson Woolridge, Cliff Madison, David Alexander Johnston, and more. Tickets start at $25.00.

CYT Tucson presents The Sound of Music
