Play / production feedback
For small companies and school productions: what the audience took from the show, past the applause.
The conviction read: everyone claps at the curtain. The drift toward the middle on 'hear every line' tells the director what the back row missed, in time for the second night.

Questions about this template
When should the audience get the link?
After the first performance, ideally that night, so notes on hearing and running time can reach the director before the next show. For a single performance, send it the next day.
What should I do if 'I could hear every line from my seat.' drifts toward the middle?
Treat it as a projection note for the cast and a check on the back rows, not a verdict on the show. Sit at the back during the next run, and see whether the drift comes with a soft read on following the story.
