Ever walked
out of a performance and turned to your theatre buddy and
said "that was nice or not" - and the conversation stops there?
Conversation Starter Cards are available for each JUTE performance. The cards assist audience members to open up discussion about the performance they have seen. The playwright, director and designers each provide insights into their approach to the work and ask provocative questions that can assist audience members to articulate their responses to the work through different points of view.
All teachers who book to see a JUTE Theatre Company production will receive a complimentary ticket to attend the first preview of the production.

Since 2007 JUTE has asked audiences to complete audience surveys immediately following a show. 25% of our audience on each night of our shows fills out these surveys. The surveys not only provide us with information about who our audience is and where they hear about our shows, but they ask audiences to comment on aspects of the work they have seen including the ‘quality’ of work and their intellectual and emotional responses to the work. This allows the company to assess the impact of our work on our audience and more broadly on our community.
