Used as an example for how to creatively feature the theatre department in order to gain more audience members for productions.
Used for purpose of class and focus groups with newspaper team. Influenced different articles later (boosting ticket sales by switching to featuring theatre productions on first page in newspaper).

Editor's Notes
I have sourced a table from the university of Canterbury, Sally Hunter a university education researcher along with Jill Tetley, from the students’ association,developed a survey of why university student do not attend their lectures, the top two reasons for not attending a lecture were ‘the need to work on other assignments’ and ‘because students couldn’t be bothered to attend’. Students also stated that they find lectures invaluable as they can source materials in other ways. This is very valuable information that should be evaluated by education departments to improve lecturing or dis guard it altogether.
