Event Description:

In Oral Interpretation, the speaker prepares two programs of manuscript-based literature substantially different in content, author, and/or original source. Each program shall consist of a single piece, a cutting, or a series of short pieces united by author or theme. One program shall be published prose; the other, published poetry. The two programs are delivered in alternate rounds. Contestants hold a manuscript or binder during their performance and maintain the illusion of reading from it.
