South Stage
is proud to be formally affiliated with the Newton
South Speech Team, home to 11 National
Finalists and 5 National Champions in the last five years. Speech offers
challenging performance opportunities well beyond the South Stage schedule.
Actors, improvisers, debaters, novices and veterans routinely try their
hand at Speech Tournaments every year. The friendships are fantastic,
and the team works hard to help everyone raise the bar on their
own performance.
