New MIFA Events!

9/11/2015

  • Studio Theatre: MIFA is excited to announce a new Studio Theatre Division. Studio Theatre, unlike Main Stage, is a show relying heavily on the actors and the script and making little to no use of extensive technical aspects of a show. More details to come including the official addition of the rules to Speech Activities! Theatre page HERE
  • Middle Level Public Forum: MIFA is dedicated to growing Debate at the Middle Level. This year, MIFA will offer Middle Level entry into Public Forum. We are hoping that the by running this alongside the existing high school event, High School Public Forum will help Middle Level Public Forum grow and develop! Debate page HERE
Contact us for more information!

September/October Public Forum Resolution:
Resolved: The United States Federal Government ought to pay reparations to African Americans.

MIFA will use this resolution for TWO months (Sept & Oct) for Public Forum Debate. MIFA follows the voting and resolutions used by The National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). The November/December resolution will be NSDA's November resolution. Varsity PF Debate will use NSDA's December resolution for States in January. 

You can vote (during the last week of the month starting in September) for the next resolutions here!
