Old Pueblo Playwrights cordially invite you to attend their weekly meeting Monday, September 15, 2025 beginning at 7 pm. This is the third Hybrid meeting of the month which means we meet both in person and on Zoom.  We meet in reality at St Francis in the Foothills, Room 50. ( Campus map attached) and virtually in our dedicated Zoom room. (Zoom link below) 

 

Our meeing is always begun with a segment we call (for now) "now PLAY ing" in which we mention and promote what theatrically we have been up to during the last seven days.  Then we have a reading of a play or plays written by our members,  These works in progress are read and re-read after rewrites until they are voted ready for live audiences or not.
