theater productions

Live dramatic presentations

Theater productions are live performances staged before an audience—plays, musicals, operas, and similar works.

The term encompasses everything involved in bringing a script to the stage: acting, directing, set design, costumes, lighting, and sound.

A production is a particular mounting of a work: the Broadway production of Hamilton, a high school production of Our Town.

Professional productions range from intimate off-Broadway shows to elaborate West End spectacles.
