Let's Have a Chat! By Beth Beutler

---

¹     When two or more characters in a play have a conversation with each other, it is called a dialogue. If you are ever in a play, or performing a selection from a play for a class assignment, you will be engaged in a dialogue. In reality, you dialogue every day because you talk with other people.
 
²     For our purposes, let's take a few minutes to "talk" about participating in a dramatic dialogue. Your first opportunity to do this may come up as a class assignment, or you may decide to try out for a school play. Your teacher may give you part of a script, which is the written story for the play, divided into characters' lines and with some filler information such as the setting. A classmate will be given the lines for a different character, and you will read, or memorize, your lines.
 
³     To do a dramatic dialogue well, you should not simply read the lines as if they were yours. Whether in front of a class, or on stage before an audience, you have a goal. That goal is to make those watching the dialogue believe they are actually watching the characters portrayed-not you, the person they may be acquainted with.
