Group partners should give considerate feedback to one another as you read through your scene. Make sure everyone is loud enough to be heard. You are doing a readers theater. Make it as dramatic as possible. Have music to start your act, underneath dramatic speeches and during the scene to scene changes. Bring hats, coats, scarves, suit jackets and small props to help with setting the scene and conveying the character you are portraying.
With any personal creative product, we all have certain sensitivities. No one should insist on having it their way all the time. Take turns with artistic decisions. Vote democratically or flip a coin. Divide tasks. Make sure everyone contributes their share of the work for the play presentation.
