Methodology from American Theatre: “This year American Theatre received a total of 380 season submissions from TCG member theatres, which is made up of some of the largest non-profit theatres in the country. From a total of 2,270 production entries they submitted, we excluded any readings and workshops, only counting full productions with at least a week’s worth of performances, for a final tally that numbered 1,917.”
