Illusion performed THURGOOD 14 times in eight communities (three communities were new to Illusion), and we built relationships for future touring. Illusion's Producing Executive Director Michael Robins and the tour booking agent, Jayne Robins, conducted debriefing sessions with each of the presenters for the THURGOOD tour to determine their interest in future Illusion productions. All conversations were extremely positive, and as the presenters in Blue Earth told us: Your cast and crew are top notch - a pleasure to work with. Thank you for your dedication and efforts in bringing your live theater to rural Minnesota! 2: 3,020 individuals in greater Minnesota saw Illusion's production of THURGOOD in public and school performances, and engaged with the play via discussions. Illusion and our presenting partners maintained accurate records of attendees (community and school shows) for performances of THURGOOD. We had discussions with the audiences and received `after-the-experience` feedback. We also conducted debriefing interviews with each venue following performances. All of this input was positive and confirmed that the tour, our relationships with the audiences and the sponsors achieved our proposed outcomes.
