repertory company
Rotating-play theater group
A repertory company is a theater group that maintains a permanent ensemble of actors performing multiple plays in rotation throughout a season.
Rather than casting each production separately, the same company members take different roles across the repertoire: She spent three years with a repertory company in regional theater.
The system allows actors to develop range while audiences see the same performers in varied works.
