ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Participants in the small group decide who will read/perform the characters. Everyone must read/perform, so a group may need to perform more than one scene.

Music lyrics can also be spoken or sung using the recordings available as accompaniment. Work with the Facilitator, who will cue up the recordings.

GOALS
