Opening on a stage?

Answer:

ACT I

Hint:

Think of the first part of a play’s structure, often marked in the program before the curtain rises.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "opening." On a stage, an "opening" can refer to the start of a play, which is often labeled as "Act I." The question mark hints at the wordplay, suggesting you shouldn’t take "opening" too literally—it’s not about a door or gap but the first act of a performance.
