A theatrical presentation is a form of entertainment that involves actors performing a scripted story in front of an audience. The term 'PLAY' is often used to refer to this type of performance, which can take place in a variety of venues such as a theater, an outdoor amphitheater, or even a movie theater. Plays can range from comedies and dramas to musicals and operas. They are often performed by professional actors, but can also be put on by amateur groups or school productions.
