The Detroit Rocks and BookMasters Toastmasters clubs are excited to announce their first annual Fall Drama Showcase, hosted by New Hope Expressions at the Third New Hope Baptist Church in Detroit.

The showcase format is as follows:

• Doors open at 9 AM, gavel at 9:30.
• Each speech must be a published or printed work from a play, novel, short story, or poem.
• Speeches must be 5–7 minutes long, and tell a complete story.
• Up to eight speakers may participate, and speaking opportunities will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interpretation is the key element to this event, so be sure to fully analyze the story and characters! If you’re interested in speaking, or if you have questions about the event, please email Gloria Hamilton.
