Also called: Get-in, Fit-up.

Load-in is the move of the production into the theatre: scenery, lighting, sound, costumes and props brought in, hung, focused and set. It is scheduled against the venue's availability and the crew's, and it is the first day the production exists in the space it will perform in.
