What does a production's "season" typically run across?

The concept of a production's "season" typically refers to the span during which a particular set of performances, such as theatrical shows or concert series, are scheduled. This timeframe often unfolds across multiple months or years, depending on the type of production and its audience.

In many performing arts organizations, a "season" can indeed run across two calendar years, especially when considering that many seasons begin in the fall and conclude in the summer of the following year. This allows for programming that aligns with the academic year, community events, and availability of audience members, hence supporting a broad range of productions from fall to summer.

Seasons organized in this way help to maximize engagement and allow planning well in advance to accommodate the production schedules, audience availability, and other logistical aspects essential for successful event planning.
