Best Answer

A receiving theatre is exactly what its name implies. It does not produce its own plays, it just houses shows that are being produced by others. Most of the time, this is a place such as the Temple Buell Theatre in Denver, or the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, where national tours of Broadway productions play.

However, most Broadway theatres are considered receiving houses, because the owners of the theatres are essentially realty companies and have no hand in producing the shows that run in their theatres.
