What is Interp?

Using a play, short story, or other published work, students perform a piece up to ten minutes in length.  These pieces focus on an underlying theme.

Interpretation has subcategories that allow variation in your choice of piece: dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, ​duo interpretation, and program oral interpretation.
