first show

Debut theater performance

First show is the earliest performance of a day when multiple showings are scheduled, typically at a theater or cinema.

It often has lower ticket prices or smaller crowds: We caught the first show to avoid the evening rush.

The term applies to movies, plays, concerts, or other timed performances.
