Which code does this activity belong in?
Theater Companies and Dinner Theaters produce live theatrical presentations including musicals, operas, plays, and comedy or mime performances, whether or not they operate their own venue. Dance Companies are classified separately when dance is the primary focus of the live performance. Musical Groups and Artists, though they may perform in theatrical settings, are classified elsewhere when music performance rather than theatrical production is the primary activity. Dinner theaters that combine theatrical productions with food service are included in this code.
