Introducing
Readers Theatre KaraokeTM
Readers Theatre Like You've Never Seen...Or HEARD...It Before!
Readers’ Theatre is a popular format because it’s so versatile and “goes on the road” so easily.
Readers Theatre Has Just Taken A Giant Step Forward
Imagine Readers Theatre performed in a dimly lit room with just the right background music creating a mood for the story. Imagine having sound effects like thunder or pounding hooves to bring realism to the reading. Imagine turning your Readers Theatre performance into mesmerizing “Theatre of the Mind” like those magic old time dramas back in the Golden Age of Radio.
That's Exactly What Readers Theatre KaraokeTM does...And It’s All On A DVD.
Your Readers Theatre KaraokeTM DVD has the stage, orchestra, and all the sound effects to make your Readers Theatre performance something really special.
Here’s How It Works.
The text of the script appears on a TV screen so your actors can watch the screen and read along. Background music and sound effects are on the disc and timed to the script so they come in right on cue as the actors deliver their lines. The result is a total theatrical experience.
No Special Equipment Required
Readers Theatre KaraokeTM uses a standard home DVD player and TV. Just insert the disc and "Raise The Curtain!" You’ll also receive a script to print out and use for rehearsals or in performance.
A Growing List of Programs
Our expanding collection of Readers Theatre KaraokeTM plays include Comedy, Drama, Action and Mystery. These are all original scripts especially written to take advantage of the new format. The programs feature plenty of roles so everyone in your troupe gets a chance to step into the spotlight.
