Entertaiment is a word that is used to describe a wide variety of experiences, ranging from leisure activities to major events. It can be abbreviated to entmt, usually on fliers or in industry news publications where space is a concern.
Entertainment is a broad and diverse industry that has the unique ability to cross between different mediums, as evidenced by one of the most famous examples, the story of Scheherazade in the Persian professional storytelling tradition, which was transformed into an orchestral work by Rimsky-Korsakov; a film by Pasolini; and an innovative video game.
