Enrichment Groups

  • Speech and Debate — Interpreter’s Theatre of “Puffs” by Matt Cox.

As part of this year’s Phi Rho Pi National Tournament, held in early April in Reno, Nevada, the team competed in the Interpreter’s Theatre event. For this event schools may enter a team of 3-14 students who will present a 25-minute piece that interprets literature for an audience through dramatic performance. This year, CWI Speech & Debate students presented an Interpeter’s Theatre piece entitled “Puffs” by author Matt Cox, which they will share live with Connections Day attendees.
