This article focuses on using readers theater for the purpose of qualitative data display. The article describes what readers theater is and differentiates this approach from more conventional forms of theater. The article also uses a recent attempt to present data in a readers theater context to ground discussions of (a) the procedures used to convert qualitative data into a readers theater display format and (b) the advantages and disadvantages of displaying data in the context of a readers theater production.
