PART I: INTRODUCTION -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Terminology -- 3. The Survey Results -- 4. What's Wrong with Post-Show Discussions? -- PART II: BUILDING THE POST-SHOW DISCUSSION -- 5. Facilitation -- 6. Foundation and Structure -- 7. Developing an Audience Base -- 8. Theatre for Young Audiences -- PART III: CONCLUSION -- 9. Moving Forward.

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. Fisher provides a framework for understanding these discussions, steps for building the foundation of them, and strategies for structuring them in a variety of ways.
