A producing house is a theatre which ‘manufactures' its own shows in-house (such as plays, musicals, opera, or dance) and perhaps does everything from honing the script, building the set, casting the actors and designing and making the costumes. The shows that are produced are then shown at that theatre or sent to others which do not produce their own material (known as receiving houses). Some theatres may produce some of their own shows, but also rent its facilities to shows produced elsewhere.
