Many theatres and theatre companies host post-show discussions, or
talkbacks, as part of their season. Often these are done for
established plays with the goal of audience cultivation; others are
done as part of the new development process. While post-show
discussions are fairly ubiquitous, without a clear definition of
what they are, who they are for, how they are led, and how they are
structured, they are floundering. Playwrights consider them a joke,
theatres use them for audience cultivation on top of helping the
playwright, thus muddying the focus of the discussions, and
audiences are unsure as to their role in the post-show discussion
because they aren't properly prepared for them. This book is a
critical examination of what has and has not worked with post-show
discussions utilized in new play development.
