The idea of applying a success rate to theater is so phenomenally weird to Phillip that for a moment he just kind of stares at Juno. Is he... serious?
"I don't really poll people as they leave the theater to find out whether they've changed their mind on something or not," he says, not at all sure how to answer this question, "But given that plays get people talking about issues or bringing attention to them or things like that... I don't know. Thirty percent?" That's probably too high for minds changed purely off of theater, but Phillip is really just pulling the number out of nowhere.
