show
Let an agent explain what a show is, relay its many senses from reference sources, describe the kinds its aliases name, and distinguish a show from an unplanned event and from a single performance within it.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A show is a planned public entertainment or presentation performed or displayed for an audience, ranging from stage and circus performances to broadcast programmes, exhibitions and competitive displays; the registry aliases name kinds such as puppet shows, dog shows, circus shows and preshows. The word covers many settings, so the sense should be identified, and a show is a planned event rather than a spontaneous happening.
