play production

Mounted dramatic work

Play production is the process of staging a theatrical work, from initial planning through performance.

It encompasses all elements required to bring a script to life: directing, casting, set design, costumes, lighting, and rehearsals.

The term also refers to the resulting staged performance itself: The school's play production of Our Town drew packed audiences.
