This course is open to OLLI members who want to learn to read aloud to a group, and are willing to eventually present to an audience. This year, we will continue our Ban the Ban series, drawing reading from books that have been banned from schools and libraries around the country. The class will meet for the full semester, with a possible additional session to be considered for presentation to an OLLI audience. Prior acting experience is not necessary.

Notes
Why, when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
