Subject: Reminder/Invitation to attend OPP weekly meeting 9-1-25
Old Pueblo Playwrights cordially invite you to attend their weekly meeting Monday, Labor Day, September 1, 2025 beginning at 7 pm. This will be the first of three hybrid meetings in September. At Hybrid meetings we include a Zoom aspect to our in-person gatherings. If you have no other plans for the Holiday, consider joining us, our meetings are always open to the public. We meet at St. Francis in the Foothills, Room 50. (
OPP President, John Vornholt opens the meeting with a segment we call "name pending". This is a chance to promote a show you have seen, a show you are in, a show soon to open or just opened or just closing, and any bits of theatrical interest to others, like audition notices.
