A student may participate and qualify in both serious and Serious solo acting categories. Section 2. Serious Solo Acting selections shall be memorized and given without notes. Prompting shall not be allowed. Section 3. Serious Solo Acting shall be interpreted as an acting event where the entire stage area may be used. Stage properties and costumes shall be prohibited with the exception of a chair. Section 4. The actor should use only action motivated by the language/characterization of the selection. Section 5. A person who qualifies in Serious Interpretation is eligible for Serious Solo Acting at state speech championship and state speech and drama festival. (The event sponsored by KSHSAA is solo acting. However, some tournaments use Serious interpretations, which limits movement and action more than the acting event.) Section 6.

Selections can include published play scripts, short stories, novels poetry and published television or movie scripts.
