Premiere First public performance of a work

A première, also spelled premiere, is the debut of a play, film, dance, or musical composition. A work will often have many premières: a world première and its first presentation in each country. When a work originates in a country that speaks a different language from that in which it is receiving its national or international première, it is possible to have two premières for the same work in the same country—for example, the play The Maids by the French dramatist Jean Genet received its British première in 1952, in a production given in the French language. Four years later, it was staged again, this time in English, which was its English-language première in Britain.

Anthology series Broadcast entertainment with self-contained stories and different characters in each episode

An anthology series is a radio, television, video game or film series that spans different genres and presents a different story and a different set of characters in each different episode, season, segment, or short. These usually have a different cast in each episode, but several series in the past, such as Four Star Playhouse, employed a permanent troupe of character actors who would appear in a different drama each week. Some anthology series, such as Studio One, began on radio and then expanded to television.
