One-Act Play: This is like a short stage production.  Students use props, costumes and make-up to present a play on a stage.  All lines must be memorized.  Time limit is 35 minutes and there is no limit to the number of students.

Readers Theatre: This is like performing a play without the costumes, props and make-up.  You will have scripts but it will practically be memorized.  You will perform in a larger room only using ladders, boxes, stools, etc.  Time limit is 25 minutes and there is a maximum of 15 students allowed.

Choral Reading:  This is a performance usually centered around a theme.  You will be able to use make-up, costumes and props.  Scripts are also used; however it will practically be memorized.  Choral reading really focuses on the blending of voices…not just one voice by itself all of the time.  Time limit is 15 minutes and there is a maximum of 15 students allowed.

Our taped newscast is then taken to contest and presented.  The newscast cannot be over 10 minutes.
