Why use Readers Theatre? • Reader's theater is often defined by what it is not -- no memorizing, no props, no costumes, no sets; readers’ theatre is a performance script that the students will act out or read. • Readers’ theatre allows the student to interpret the text, put their own voices, expression and essentially become the character that they are portraying.
