Template A: Audience Analysis

The audience for my review would be young teens or collge students interested in the theatre program at UCF. It can also be geared towards parents that are looking into colleges with a good theatre program for their child. Lastly, someone reading this review could just be interested in theatre as a whole.

Values
-The audience would value the art of theatre. It should be important to them to evaluate the how seriously theatre is taken at UCF. They would also value a good education in theatre, and the future that comes along with it. It would be beneficial to this person if they valued theatre before social needs and a social life.

Social Needs
-Their friends could be interested in the program, as well. For example, if someone has been in the drama program all through high school, this person most likely has made friends in the program. These friends would probably be looking to find a college program, as well. It would hurt them not knowing how tough it is to stay in the program. It has a very demanding schedule and requires focus and commitment all four years of college. The audience should understand that it would be hard to maintain a social life outside of theatre and that time management would be crucial to someone dedicated to the program. They would need to keep up with any changes within the program, any upcoming auditions, and any important dates that a person in the program would need to attend. It is also important to look into the rules and regulations of UCF's theatre program. Someone not in the program and reading the review just to evaluate UCF's theatre would need to keep up any sort of pertinent information regarding the major they intend to receive if in the program.

Cognitive Needs
-Benefits from the program would be a greater knowledge of the theatre world, and the audience would develop a solid base to understand how theatre is in college. A person would grow exceptionally in learning how to perform in theatre, or work backstage in theatre. A person reading this review would have to be someone interested in any sort of theatre career, or someone interested in theatre in general. For example, if a freshman in college has decided to switch from a business major to a theatre major, they might read this review to find out what the theatre department at UCF is like, and what sort of opportunities are available to someone who desires to major in theatre. If this person decides to enter the program at UCF, he/she needs to be sure that this path is what they've chosen as their life goal, and they are willing to endure any obstacles that will occur while in the program.
