403F Summer 2025 Reader’s Theater

This course will provide a forum for OLLI students to hone reading and performing skills. Students will be asked to present readings, either self-chosen or provided by the instructor. Readings may be by a single performer or 2-4 individuals. Critiques will be provided by the members of the class in order to help each other improve our skills. No memorization required.
