This session is not to be construed as a contest, but rather as a friendly exchange of sounds and ideas among those interested in the effective oral performance of classical literature. If the reader so desires, listeners will offer constructive comments after the reading. All readers are asked to bring 30 copies of their selection as handouts. Auditors are also cordially welcome to this session. Please contact Stephen Daitz (sgdaitz@aol.com) if you plan to present a selection of your choice. |
