Hot Off the Press is a great opportunity for theater lovers, aspiring playwrights, and those with the knack for constructive evaluation, to hear and comment on the recent works of these talented minds. After each reading the audience gets to partake in a discussion with the author, and fill out an evaluation form to help the development of the play. This week's installment is Roadhouse that Could, by T. Scott Wooten – an artistic associate at American Stage and seasoned playwright. Visit americanstage.org for more info. Mon., Jan. 4, 7 p.m., American Stage, St. Petersburg, free. — Lily Reisman
