A performance in front of an audience prior to the official opening of a play, when the director and the performers discover which parts of the play are successful and which are not, is known as the <u>preview.</u>
<u></u>
A series of public performances that take place before a theatrical production's official debut are called previews. Prior to inviting reviewers to the performance, previews provide the director and crew the chance to address any issues and areas for improvement that were not discovered during rehearsed scenes. The length of the preview period varies, and there may be discounts on the cost of tickets.
