stage production

Live theatrical presentation

A stage production is a theatrical work presented live before an audience—a play, musical, opera, or similar performance.

The term emphasizes the full mounted effort: sets, costumes, lighting, and performers working together.

The Broadway stage production of Hamilton won eleven Tony Awards.

We saw a local stage production of Our Town.
