You know if you've written with clarity and flair if you have addressed what you intended to address and if you have done it in a clear, precise manner using terminology relevant to what you have studied in Drama.
When the syllabus talks about the theatre's target audience, it's my understanding that it's talking about who the company appeals to as a majority - so if they were attempting to appeal to age ranges, then you'd say something along the lines of 18-25 or something, or if they were appealing to classes of society then you'd say something along the lines of High class. It depends on how you as an individual perceive the question of the target audience - it could even be talking about the companies target audience for one particular play, that being the one you are designing for.

Oookay - well, I printed my program in A3 format, which folded over into A4 size, so the A3 sheets were printed with their corrosponding JPEG graphic layouts I had embedded into the page and were then trimmed and folded into an A4 booklet - I'll attach a copy of one of the pages so you can see what I mean - However, it's a pretty time consuming process I opted to go for because you can't simply put it page after page consecutively, you have to work out what goes where and then create each page individually. Say for example, the front and the back cover go side by side on the same page, then printed on the back of that same page is either the inside cover and the back inside or page one, and depending on how many pages your program has (mine had 18 I think) then the page number that goes next to 1 would be 18. Confusing I know - it all depends on how you want to layout your program, that was just how I did mine...
As for getting the program professionally printed, it was relatively simple as I had the layout already set up to be printer friendly, so all I did was walk into a good printing place and tell them I had so many A3 colour pages to be printed back to back...and they did it for me. However, you have to make sure that your JPEG's are at a resolution of 300dpi, and I reccommend, if you're creating them in photoshop or something create them as CMYK images because they give the closest colour res for printing, so what you see on the screen is basically how they will print, colour wise. The same went for my poster - the JPEG had to be saved at highest possible resolution. The dimensions of mine were A1 size @ 300dpi, actual pixel ratio had to be at 1/2 size - once again, completely confusing, but the printer you go to will be able to help you if you don't understand, just ask 'em for help or to explain.
I hope that's answered your questions...I'll link a few of my images so you can see what mine was like...
