You've actually got the question backwards. It should be "How many people in the Theater look at and use these boards?" And the exact answer is everyone from top to bottom. It's the premium website for the world of theatre and in some snarky ways superior to Variety and Playbill.
I've done local/children's theatre my whole life, and am currently in college pursuing degrees in acting and playwriting, so I hope to work in theatre someday!
