theatrical troupe

Stage performance group

A theatrical troupe is a company of actors and performers who work together to stage plays or other dramatic productions.

The word troupe distinguishes such groups from musical bands or dance companies, though some troupes incorporate all three.

The troupe toured small towns throughout the summer.

A trouper—someone who perseveres through difficulties—derives from the reliability expected of touring performers.
