Turning an exposition-heavy short story into a half-hour readers' theater piece with multiple narrators and potential community staging.

Quoting
Call me Dragonman . . .
Allegedly retired, I am still pretty busy with projects. I was in a Writers' Club a while back and produced some short stories that have met with some success at private readings.
Current project is trying to turn one of these stories into a one act play, of sorts. My challenge is the original is mainly exposition with only some dialog.
I am contemplating this as a "readers theater" type piece, where performers stay seated, but emotively read the lines.
Hints and suggestions on making this a more play-like experience would be appreciated. We have a community theater club that I am eyeing as a possible venue, and I think this can be as good as some of the other locally authored productions have been!
