Humorous
Event Description:
This is a memorized event in which the student presents a selection of literature that is primarily humorous in nature. There may be some seriousness in the presentation, but the overall presentation must be humorous in nature. The presentation should include an introduction that cites the name of the piece and the author, and should develop the narrative and/or character(s) via vocal and physical techniques. The selection must be from a single published play, a fictional or non-fictional work, or a poem. Material from more than one source is not allowed. The author’s words as published in the literature may not be altered for this presentation with the exception that cutting is permitted. No scripts, costumes, or props may be used in the presentation.
Time: 10 minute maximum, including introduction (30 second grace); no minimum
