Open Interpretation

A Humorous Interpretation is a ten-minute performance of a humorous piece of published literature. Think of it as a short play, without any costumes or props, in which the performer plays all the characters.

Note

The NCFCA’s Open and Stoa’s Open Interpretation allow you the freedom to perform a self-authored interpretation that’s humorous, dramatic, or some combination of the two.

Possible Script Sources

Finding a good script takes time and discernment. The following is a list of sites you might try searching. Keep in mind that you will be cutting your script down to size to fit the time allotted for your event, and you have the ability to slightly alter the wording (i.e., censor the piece), if necessary. Christian sources are denoted with a cross ✝.
