Podcast Instructional Design Plan

Problem

Get the word out about Drunk Shakespeare and get more pre-show ticket sales.

Users

Theater people

People who like to drink

English majors (former or current)

People who frequent High Dive - ages 21-50

People who have gone to RHPS at High Dive

Stakeholders

High Dive - the venue - they are depending on ticket/alcohol sales for what are typically slow nights. The success of the show will determine if they do it again.

The Plastered Players - the troupe putting on the show - the success of the show will determine whether High Dive asks them to do a show again.

Other info

The venue has had other shows like this in the past. One of their more popular local shows is Rocky Horror Picture Show. There has the potential to be a lot of crossover from that, however RHPS has its own cult following that may not translate.

Goal/Outcome

Get listeners interested in the show.

Listeners know the time, date, place, and cost of the show.

Listeners know the website to purchase tickets.

Some tickets are sold for opening night (so far none have been purchased)

Assessments

Look at statistics before and after the podcast comes out to see if there is a marked difference.

Add a survey to the ticket purchase to find out how they heard about the show.

Materials/Technology/Delivery

Audacity to record the podcast

Facebook/Instagram to promote it
