Abstract
In this paper we present a tool designed to provide entertainment by using social robots, specifically NAO humanoid robots. The tool takes as input a declarative representation of a theater piece that includes both text and movements to be said (performed) by robots. It can involve a one-robot monologue or a dialogue between two robots. Given the declarative representation of the input, it allows for anyone to create new pieces and easily test how they are represented by real or by virtual NAO robots.
