Talk:one-night stand

I added

# An occasion when a performer or team of them (especially in vaudeville) expects to perform at a theater for a single evening.

The tone of "you're on your own afterward" is common to both this sense and the sexual one, and the sexual sense surely arises from using the theatrical one as a metaphor.
