acting troupe
Performing arts collective
An acting troupe is a company of actors who perform together, typically traveling to different venues.
The term evokes theatrical tradition—Shakespeare's Globe players, commedia dell'arte ensembles, or modern repertory companies: The acting troupe toured small towns throughout the summer.
Troupe implies an established group with shared identity, not actors assembled for a single production.
