dramatic piece
Theater script performed
A dramatic piece is a work intended for theatrical performance—a play, sketch, or similar composition meant to be acted on stage.
The term emphasizes the work as a self-contained unit of drama: The evening featured three short dramatic pieces by local playwrights.
It can also describe any segment of performed drama within a larger production.
