Most-Produced Plays
American Theatre magazine published Theatre Communications Group’s annual Top Ten list of the most-produced titles of the current fall-to-spring regional theatre season.
The most-produced plays in TCG member theatres nationwide follow. Because of several ties, there are actually 14 plays in the Top Ten List of 2009-10, which does not include Shakespearean works or holiday-themed shows.

"The polished, fast-paced, unabashedly theatrical (in the best sense of the word) production of “Around the World in 80 Days” at the Westport Country Playhouse is an extremely pleasant surprise.
The show is smart enough to make sophisticated adults laugh out loud and shamelessly silly enough to keep children in the audience interested and entertained.
Much credit goes to Mark Brown, the actor-playwright who wrote the adaptation.
Apparently, Mr. Brown likes to play with classic books and international settings. One of his earlier works is “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge,” set a year after the visits of the three Christmas spirits. And his “China — The Whole Enchilada” was a hit at last year’s Fringe Festival in New York."
