Mystery Readers Theater
Students become cast members, suspects, and detectives in one of Laughing Matters’ three hilarious, violence-free “whodunits”: The Show Might Go On, The Valentine’s Day Mystery or The Case of the Washed-Out Watercolor. Through the vehicle of reader’s theatre, they work with Laughing Matters’ artist facilitator to practice speaking aloud, improve their reading fluency, and use creative thinking to devise an original solution to the mystery. Each show is designed for approximately 30 individual and two group roles, which can be assigned before the artist arrives or at the beginning of the program.
