Are you here for MYFest25? Welcome!
In our session on August 7, Laura will present a quick overview of African riddles and dilemma tales,
and then we will perform these two plays that Laura wrote based on those two storytelling traditions:
CROSSING THE RIVER: An African Riddle Tale
THE RIVER TEST: An African Dilemma Tale
I also made a handout about African riddles if people might be interested in learning more about African riddles traditions.
Meanwhile, you can find out more about Readers Theater by exploring this website, and if you have questions or comments in advance of the session, contact Laura at laurakgibbs@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest in readers theater!
This website is a repository for CC-BY licensed scripts for readers theater that come from the folktale traditions of the world. These scripts are free for you to copy, adapt, remix, rewrite, and transform based on your own inspiration; my only request is that you credit the source — Laura Gibbs at Scripts.LauraGibbs.net — so that others can find their way here too.
Click at the top left to reveal the site menu if it is not visible, and you can click here for the table of contents. Most of the plays now have audio recordings, which I hope will make the scripts even more useful for English language learners.
You can also find free Online Resources for additional readers theater scripts, just a click away at the Internet Archive.
Thank you for your interest, and if you have readers theater scripts that you would like to contribute to their project, let me know. You can reach me by email: laurakgibbs@gmail.com.
