This is a survey by the South Devon Players Theatre & Film Company, based in Devon, UK, to help us update and focus our show publicity, as we come out of Covid. All information is anonymous, with an optional mailing list opt-in at the end. This information helps us understand how to best reach potential audiences, what potential audience members may find helpful when planning a visit to enjoy live entertainment, and therefore ways to promote and grow regional arts and culture; and check over our audience inclusion policies. If you have any thoughts or feedback which this form does not cover, we would love to hear from you; on southdevonplayers@gmail.com

More information on us, is at www.southdevonplayers.com and www.facebook.com/sdevonplayers
