 3) Each theatre does full productions of 5  plays a year.
 4) each theatre recieves 200 scripts a year
 50 total submissions for all theatres : 10,000 scripts
 6) Scripts produced : 250 scripts
 7) scripts left over: 9750 scripts

I know the rest of your post was simply about getting scripts read so everyone
can get closer to knowing what's out there.  And that's good.  I do,however
want to say that for every 10,000 scripts, only 250-500 are worth being
produced.  (And Christmas Carol is a very solid story with excellent
characters that has the stigma of being well loved.)  But I'm all for
expanding the 250 to 500 and any efficient way to let every producing entity
know what's out there will help facilitate this.
