I don't know the definition specifically. The statement mentions theatres like the Guthrie and Steppenwolf where the existing adaptation has been done, so it certainly doesn't mean Equity/professional. Broadway/West End, first national tour, that's the idea. The Sorkin Mockingbird tour could preempt productions of the existing adaptation within a certain distance of the venue. (As when your high school is planning to do The King and I, they can be thwarted by a planned Equity tour.)

First-Class means Broadway or like Broadway, which includes Broadway-esque tours and other productions in first class houses in other cities that are comparable, and with first class creatives and talent, etc. It can get a little fuzzy at the margins but there is not a lot produced at the margins.
