Theatrical production

A theatrical production is any work of theatre, such as a staged play, musical, comedy or drama produced from a written book or script.

These works are protected by common law or statuary copyright unless in the public domain.

Today's contemporary theatres produce a variety of plays and musicals that attract very different audiences.

In full theatrical productions there are a great number of people working towards many types of shows.

A producer acquires financing, hires staff and oversees everything from the beginning to the end of each show.
