Folks who shared results in September include actors, producers, and audience members.  Thanks to Roselyn Hallett, Nina Meehan, Erin Hoffman Moro, Jason Hancock Torres, Brian Herndon, Jessica Powell, Ray Renati, Kendra Oberhauser, Dale Albright and Melissa Hillman for sending me counts in September!

Thanks for reading and for talking about and sharing the info from this project!  If you are working on a show with October performances or see a show in October, I hope you'll take a few minutes to send in a count.  I'm also happy to count forward - if you're working on a project that is already cast, but won't start performances until after October 31st, go ahead and send the count, and I'll include it in the appropriate month. 

Come back and see October results between Nov 1 and Nov 5!
