Morphology
The phrase meaning is directly derivable from its parts: 'theatrical' (related to theatre/ drama) modifies 'production' (a staged presentation), yielding the staging/performance of a play. This compositional, head-modifier pattern is regular in English and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Theatrical production comes from two simple ideas: theatrical means for the theatre and production means 'making' something ready to show, like putting together actors, sets and lights. So, theatrical production now means the 'putting on' and 'performance' of a play.
