- 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 threatened
because of budget cuts, THSSDL membership 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, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, and Cross Examination Debate (if entries warrant).
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. The top One-Act play advances to the state competition.
