special engagement
Exclusive booked appearance
A special engagement is a limited or exclusive appearance, typically in entertainment.
A touring production might have a special engagement in one city before moving on, or a performer might return for a special engagement after the regular run ends.
The term emphasizes that the event is outside the normal schedule and won't last long: The film is showing for a special engagement only.
