Reader’s Theater is a style of theater in which the actors do not memorize their lines.  Actors use only vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, intricate blocking, and movement.  This style of performance of literature was initially lauded because it emphasized hearing a written text as a new way to understand literature.  This packet allows to introduce this unique form of theatre to students with four excellent scripts.  They include ”The Rats Have All the Fun” by Art Buchwald, ”Martin and the North Wind” by Melvin R.  White, ”I Was Only Six” by George P.  McCallum and ”The Third Ingredient, ” adapted from O. Henry.
