A producing theatre will produce its own theatre productions 'in-house' including desinging, building and rehearsing etc. They usually have their own set-building workshops and wardrobe departments onsite at the theatre or nearby, although sometimes external builders and suppliers may be used. Usually the Artistic Director will decide on the programme for the season, choosing the plays to be performed. Following this the Creative Team will be employed, including the director, designers (set, lighting, costume, sound etc) and work will begin on the design of the production. Casting, rehearsals and a continuation of the design process follow, until the production is ready to open to the public.

A receiving theatre will 'receive' productions that have been produced elsewhere, either by a producing theatre that for example has decided to tour one of its own productions, or by a a theatre company that does not have a theatre space or venue of its own and produces exclusively for touring. Receiving theatres also include West End venues that receive 'transfers'; productions that have enjoyed a successful run or tour outside of the West End, that are bought by producers and put into a London venue in the hope of achieving further success.

How does a receiving theater differ from a producing theater?

At a receiving theatre you will only see touring productions. At a producing theatre the shows are put on by the company resident in that theatre - the company is employed by the theatre, rehearsals take place there etc. Most major local theatres will be receiving theatres. London has more producing theatres such as the National theatre.
