Method and limitations
The sample includes calendar listings from October 30–November 28, 2026. It counts dates, so one production with multiple performances appears multiple times. Recurring schedules can generate future dates without a separate announcement for each performance. Venues publish on different horizons, prices are not always available, and cancellations or late additions can change the result. Free means the listing records free or $0 admission; it excludes unknown prices and does not confirm that a recurring date is still taking place.
