What do you call a group of playwrights? A Cahoot! It's true*!! Come Cahootle with us. This monthly meetup is for aspiring, new, and experienced wrighters to grab a beer and discuss plays. No pages necessary, just show up and bounce ideas off fellow creatives! Make friends who also love plays! And share opportunities for further development of your work. Next Meeting: Sunday Mar 30 at 1pm Goldspot Brewing Presented with @athenaprojectarts and their Read & Rant book Club, which explores plays written by women, trans, and nonbinary playwrights. *may or may not be true, no research done on this topic.

March 30! UnLeashed and Athena Project's Read & Rant program present Wrighters in Cahoots, a social gathering for Denver area playwrights! We are a group of playwrights who come together once a month to discuss our current projects, ideas, blocks, hopes, dreams and writing struggles. This is a social club - we meet and discuss our work with no expectation of sharing or reading and providing feedback (though of course that is welcome as well)! It's more about having a space with like-minded creatives to discuss your work, get inspiration, get advice, or just get support as you move through your writing journey. Whether you're a seasoned playwright or just starting out, we welcome all levels of experience. Let's hang out, write, explore, and create together in a supportive and inspiring environment! Our goal is to also build a network of creative connections that can help support and possibly provide opportunities to help playwrights get their work written, edited, revised, read, and produced! In particular, we believe in finding ways to help amplify works of playwrights whose identities are traditionally underrepresented in the theatre. UnLeashed Theatre believes in the power of diverse stories and artists. We are a women-owned company and are committed to holding space for women and other underrepresented groups to create with joy and care. We welcome and actively seek playwrights and content from a wide variety of experiences including artists who identify as female, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, having visible or non-visible disability, and artists of color. Athena Project's mission is to amplify the voices of all women and underrepresented genders through the arts. Their Read & Rant program explores new plays written by women, trans and nonbinary playwrights. @athenaprojectarts This club meets the last Sunday of every month at 1pm at Goldspot Brewing @goldspotbrewing in Denver. Connect with us on Meetup (link in bio) or just show up!

Actors and Playwrights! Pints & Plays connects new plays to new audiences. Happening every first Thursday of the month at Western Sky Bar & Taproom, scripts selected will be lightly staged and read by actors to a general audience. And yep, that audience will be bar patrons.This series seeks to bring cool, new plays to a “non-traditional” theatre space, and hopefully bring non-regular theatre crowds to hear cool, new plays! UnLeashed Theatre believes in the power of diverse stories and artists. We are a women-owned company and are committed to holding space for women and other underrepresented groups to create with joy and care. We welcome and actively seek to qork with artists from a wide variety of experiences including artists who identify as female, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, having visible or non-visible disability, and artists of color.
