Event Description:

Chair(s) and stool(s) may be used, but the tournament is not responsible for providing these.

Contrary to dramatic performance, the challenge of this category is to present a literary script in suchmanner that the audience imagines action being described rather than witnessing it being performed.Symbolic characterization and vocal and physical action rather than a literal dramatization or pantomime isrequired. Ideas are imagined though oral reading and interpretation and not through acting.
