Special Instructions:

• Although Readers drama technically does not rely on memorization, even more rehearsals and training is required for this form of drama. Since there is no onstage movement, any movements or “twitches” at any time by the readers must be an intentional happening. All movement by any reader, particularly movements by the reader(s) not reading at that moment, need to enhance and not confuse the message received by the audience.
