Student response to this week’s theatre production analysis perfectly encapsulates what I’ve been banging on about all semester. (Aha, it’s working!) Signed, a proud audience studies scholar.

As part of their performance projects, my 4th year students engaged in some guerrilla marketing - distributing fake business cards and posters, installing real (fake) bugs in buildings, hacking QR codes, and even getting the campus grocery store on board. 100% recommend, if only for the originality.

And I, yours! Excited to read *In the Lurch*… much to think about all things real, theatre, and politics.

What do Canadian audiences value at the theatre? | Intermission This past spring, we invited a group of scholars, artists, and students to gather at the University of Toronto Mississauga to figure out what Canadian audiences want and need from their hosts.

The Centre for Spectatorship and Audience Research wrote briefly about our May forum, which gathered artists, scholars, and students together to discuss theatre audiences, for Canada's Intermission Magazine:
