The aim of this paper is to examine the stage version of The Curtain Rises from multiple perspectives such as plays and performances. In particular, I focused on Oriza Hirata, who was involved in writing the script. In Chapter 1, I introduce his work and organize the comments of the people involved in the workshop that took place prior to the movie and the stage play. In Chapter 2, I examine how the transition from novel to film, and from film to theater, was based on the mixed media of The Curtain Rises. In Chapter 3, I discuss the story, pointing out theatrical features based on particular scenes, and highlight the theme of the growth of the characters. Finally, in Chapter 4, I focus on the episode dealing with the Great East Japan Earthquake and the characters of Nakanishi, which were added in the stage version of The Curtain Rises, and consider its effects on the entire play.
