We do six main stage, one second stage and then host three high school productions (that we provide tech and FoH support for.
 
It's getting to the point of where our theater is so full, we are considering buidling another theater just to house more shows and add more seats.
 
Growth is good, but a little scary!

We generally do 2 plays (comedy and drama) and 2 musicals (old standby and new) a season. Plus we have a teen summer musical and during the normal season we have 2 kid shows, a play and a musical.

If it can be fit in we try to do a cabaret and a weekend of one acts as well.

I consider it quite a bit.

Back when I started working at my current theatrical home, we did 5 shows every year, beginning in early spring and finishing up around Christmas.  That meant, at the time, that we had the winter months to do necessary repairs, remodeling, and general tidying.

Now, though, we've added a show and we now do six every year, so it's sometimes a pain to keep things organized in, say, the wood shop, while simultaneously rummaging through it for that Window Flat you could swear you saw just the other day... :)

But it works pretty well, and does provide some extra income in what was otherwise a dark period.

Our community is just under 200,000 in size.
Our community theater company has been in continuous operation since 1926.
Currently, we do 8 shows per season, as follows:
1 season-opening, fundraiser gala show (2 nights)
5 main stage shows - full-length plays (4 nights each)
2 one-act plays cabarets - 2 to 6 short plays or sketches (2 nights each)

We do eight full productions with four week runs (Fri-Sun, Wed-Sun, Wed-Sun, Wed-Sat).  We used to do ten shows a year with three-week runs, but then sanity prevailed.  We just added a season opener fundraiser this year and we usually also do a fundraiser to benefit our theatre scholarship program
