Shows I saw in 2019:

Here is a list of shows I saw in 2019. First, the rules:
0. If you don't agree with these rules, create your own.
1. Each separately ticketed event counts as a show. Therefore, 2 nights of 14/48 do not count as 14 shows – but they do count as 2 (not 1). On the other hand, if I stick around to see the separately ticketed late night improv troupe after catching the 8PM prime time, that counts as 2 show also.
2. Shows I see more than once still count as one.
3. Shows I participate in (as an actor/director/crew) count, but again only as one (see rule #2).
4. Musicals and operas count, but music concerts don't. Dance-icals and dance-dramas count. Ballets and other straight dance performances don't.
5. One man/woman shows count, but lectures/demonstrations don't.
6. Improvs, sketch comedy, short play festivals – all count (see rule #1 regarding short play festivals), but stand-up comedy shows don't.
7. Staged readings count.
8. If I'm able to only see a part of the show, it may count if I feel I saw a significant portion of it. Case by case decision.
9. Theatrical elements in non-theatrical events (such as entertainment during a fundraiser, or a skit during a religious event) do not count.
10. If you're not under the same roof as the performers, the event does not count - e.g. live broadcast of plays performed elsewhere do not count.
11. Shows in all languages count – even if I don't understand the language, as long as the rules above are satisfied.
