Readers' theater is called readers' theater because the actors just sit or stand on stage and read aloud the lines. They do not memorize them. It allows the audience to focus solely on what is written rather than paying attention to the set, costumes and various props. Often teachers use readers' theater in classrooms when reading a novel. The students each take on a character in the novel and read aloud that specific character's dialogue.
