1 Define your objectives

Before you recruit and invite participants for your focus group, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to learn from them. What are the main questions or hypotheses that you want to explore? What are the key aspects of your production that you want to test or improve? How will you use the results of your focus group to inform your decisions? Having a specific and realistic goal will help you design your focus group more effectively and efficiently.

From my experience, a lot of my objectives are centered around audience experience and season building. My team and I tailored the questions to guide patrons. For example, instead of just asking " What do you want to see next season?" We asked that question and gave people three spaces to write their answers.

2 Choose your participants

The next step is to select and recruit the people who will take part in your focus group. Ideally, you want to have a representative sample of your target audience, or the people who are most likely to attend or enjoy your production. You also want to have a diverse and balanced group, with different perspectives, backgrounds, and preferences. Depending on your objectives, you may want to segment your participants into different groups based on certain criteria, such as age, gender, location, or previous theatre experience. You should aim to have between six to ten participants per group, and offer them some incentives, such as free tickets, vouchers, or snacks, to encourage their participation.

In my experience, because the seasons I am usually producing in have a variety of shows to give each member of the family something to enjoy, we surveyed children and adults. It all depends who is in your core audience is.

3 Prepare your questions

Once you have your participants, you need to prepare the questions that you will ask them during the focus group. The questions should be open-ended, relevant, and engaging, and follow a logical sequence that covers your objectives. You should also avoid leading or biased questions that may influence the answers of the participants. You can use different types of questions, such as icebreakers, exploratory, probing, or evaluative, to elicit different kinds of responses. You should also prepare some prompts or stimuli, such as images, videos, scripts, or prototypes, to illustrate your production and spark discussion.

4 Conduct your focus group

The next step is to conduct your focus group in a comfortable and neutral setting, where the participants can express their opinions freely and respectfully. You should have a moderator who will facilitate the conversation, ask the questions, and manage the time and the dynamics of the group. You should also have an observer or a recorder who will take notes, record the audio or video, and document the non-verbal cues and reactions of the participants. You should aim to have a focus group that lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, and that covers all the topics that you want to explore.

5 Analyze your data

The final step is to analyze the data that you collected from your focus group and draw some conclusions and recommendations. You should transcribe the recordings, organize the notes, and code the data into themes, categories, or patterns. You should also look for any similarities or differences among the participants, any surprises or contradictions, and any strengths or weaknesses of your production. You should interpret the data in relation to your objectives, and highlight the key findings and insights that can help you improve your production and your marketing strategies.
