YOU CAN AND SHOULD BE A PART OF OUR VERY SUCCESSFUL GROUP.   

Do you have a play you'd like critiqued?  Bring it to the group any Monday evening at 7:00. Jump into the critique mêlée .… or just listen quietly....until your passions rise … and in the midst of the frenzy you feel compelled to join the excitement and the emotion of the fray to express with zeal your opinion of Act II, Scene Three .... when the protagonist ...  Yes. We know.  We've all been there.   

The Thistle Dew Theater is dedicated to the development of new theatrical works from formative stages though full production through workshops and readings of plays with directors, dramaturgs and performers at various stages.  Thistle Dew wordsmyths aim to provide the playwright with a wide range of assistance in realizing their artistic vision. 

Everyone is welcome!  Best of all..... it's fun and it's free!
