- The
Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League is
- a
professional association for speech and theatre educators
- throughout
Tennessee. At a time when many of our programs
- are threatened
because of budget cuts, THSSDL membership
- can
provide a collective voice in favor of maintaining
and
- improving
programs already in existence and in helping
to
- establish
new programs.
-
- THSSDL
provides training for teachers at its fall conference
- held
every September. Member schools from across the state
- compete
in public speaking and acting activities. THSSDL schools
- compete
in high school invitationals throughout most of the year.
- Between
February and mid-April, each district hosts its State
- Qualifier
Tournament. Students have opportunities to compete in
- activities
ranging from extemporaneous speaking to solo acting.
- Group
events include one-act play competition and interpreters'
- theatre. Students can also compete in Public Forum Debate and Lincoln-Douglas Debate.
-
The top four students in individual contests earn the right to represent
- their schools and their districts at the State Tournament in April. The
- top two interpreters' theatre groups continue on to state.
