*I realized that I was weighing my yes/no batting average as acceptances versus total submissions. The "Batting Average" is now the percentage of actual yesses divided by the overall number of subs that have received a yes/no response.

**Let's get really picky here: That number reflects the total number of plays rejected; several times, multiple plays were sent to a single theatre. As of April 23, 2007, the "real" number, looking at responses/theatres, is 6 acceptances out of 22 theatres*** submitted to for a batting average of .272.

***I took out Spotted Dog from the numbers as they are, as noted, presumed dead.
