Articles about Entertaiment

Entertaining is something that gives pleasure or diversion, or amuses. It can range from an individual selecting a form of entertainment from a wide choice, to an elaborate dinner for many guests, to a performance in front of thousands. It may even be a form of spiritual or moral teaching, such as satire or ceremonies. Entertainment is an extremely versatile medium, and its themes and images often cross over into other forms of media. For example, the story of Scheherazade (a professional storyteller in the Persian tradition) has inspired an orchestral work by Rimsky-Korsakov, a film directed by Pasolini, and innovative video games.

The word entertainment can be abbreviated to entmt on fliers or in industry news publications, especially when space is limited. However, this is rarely done in general writing or speech.
