HIGH SCHOOL and ADULT (21 PACKETS)
Readers Theatre is increasingly popular as a social recreation for adults as well as a classroom activity for oral interpretation, theatre, literature, foreign language, and many other subjects. Our Packets are designed to meet these needs.

These Packets encompass a wide range of interests -- humorous and serious classic stories by popular American, English, and Continental authors, significant poems arranged for group performance, materials to study various RT styles, great literature as a bilingual experience, and the first of our planned Science Series.

Some of the Packets offer interesting staging challenges to adults even though the literature was originally intended for young readers. Other scripts have mature subject matter. All have been pretested by the Institute for Readers Theatre. No previous theatre experience is required of you or your cast as you follow our step-by-step instructions.
