Event Description:
Oral Interpretation: Prose & Play Reading: an excerpt from a novel or short story OR a scene from a play (monologue or multi-character) is delivered by a single student from manuscript using no props or costumes. Students should strive to bring the literature to life, setting its scene in the minds of the audience and involving them, vicariously, in the work. They should embody both narrative and characters in stance, gesture, movement, facial expression and vocal quality, striving for natural, realistic and believable portrayals. Students are required to provide brief introductory remarks that, at the least, identify the title and author of the work.
