Event Description:

Humorous or Dramatic Interpretation

HI & DI are monologues. They are memorized events for 1 actor where the student choses a piece, or part, of a story from 1 book or script and performs it by themselves. It can be one character or multiple characters. If multiple characters, each one must be distinct from the others with different mannerisms and voices. It can be one cohesive piece such as from a book of monologues, a particular scene from a book or script, or pieced together from a book or script. Movement is allowed but no props, costumes, set pieces, or special makeup are allowed. The performance must include an original memorized introduction which gets the audience’s attention in just a few sentences and includes the title and author or playwright. Introductions can start with rhetorical questions or quotes from research or famous people. The material must be from a published source. All selections must be in good taste. Maximum performance time 10 minutes.
