speilplan

Speilplan is a term used in several Germanic languages to denote the planned program of events at a venue or organization. In German, the common spelling is Spielplan, while in Dutch the equivalent is speelplan. The term can refer to the schedule of theatre productions, concerts, cinema screenings, and other live events for a season, as well as to the fixtures list in sports or chess. The concept is essentially a timetable detailing what performances or matches are planned, when and where, and often who is involved.

In performing arts contexts, a Spielplan lists production titles, dates, times, venue rooms, language or subtitles, ages, ticket prices, and sometimes cast and director credits. It may indicate if a show is sold out, on tour, or has accessibility options. The plan is typically published by the venue at the start of a season and updated as programs change due to cancellations, renovations, or new bookings. Availability is usually shown online and in printed programs.

Beyond theatres and cultural venues, the term also appears in sports and other organized activities to describe the schedule of matches, rounds, or events. While spelling and usage vary by country, the essential function is the same: to provide a published timetable of planned events for audiences and participants.
