stage performance
Acting before audience
A stage performance is a live presentation before an audience in a theater or similar venue—plays, musicals, dance, opera, or stand-up comedy.
The term emphasizes the immediacy and physicality of live theater as distinct from film or recorded media: Her stage performance earned a standing ovation.
It can also describe how effectively someone commands a live audience: His stage performance needs work, but his songwriting is solid.
