touring companies
Road show ensembles
Touring companies are theater, dance, or musical groups that travel to perform in different locations rather than staying at a fixed venue.
A Broadway show might spawn a touring company that brings the production to cities across the country: The touring company of Hamilton is playing in Chicago this month.
The term applies to any performing arts troupe designed to take shows on the road.
