Entry 1 competitors per entry

Event Description:

In this set of events, a student performs a memorized cutting from a published piece of literature for a maximum of 10 minutes (with a 30 second grace period if students go over the 10 minute mark) for the purpose of creating a compelling scene. The student may portray one or more characters. No preference should be automatically given to a performance on the basis of the number of characters presented, though it is more common for Humorous Interpretations to have more characters. A Dramatic Interpretation does not necessarily have dark drama. It may be pure drama seen on the stage.
