What is name of a play that begins early in the day called?

"Matinee" is from the French "matin " meaning morning and "matinee," meaning morning time.

I've been to a matinee

JellyBaker, Matinee is from French " Matinée" meaning of course morning time.

Lash, similarly, I was trying to think of the specific name of the play set in the morning or early afternoon

I'm so silly 😂😝! At first I thought it meant the action in the play began early in the day...not the performance. I was looking forward to learning a new word.
