Event Description:
Using a combination of Prose, Poetry and Drama, students
construct a program up to ten minutes in length using
at least two out of the three genres. With a spotlight
on argumentation and performative range, Program Oral
Interpretation focuses on a student’s ability to combine
multiple genres of literature centered around a single
theme. Competitors are expected to portray multiple
characters. No props or costumes may be used except for
the manuscript. Performances also include an introduction
written by the student to contextualize the performance
and state the titles and authors used in the program.
