touring company

Theater on wheels

A touring company is a theatrical troupe that travels to perform in different cities or venues rather than remaining at a fixed location.

The term applies to theater, dance, and musical productions that bring shows to audiences who can't attend the original staging: The touring company of Hamilton is coming to Denver.

Distinguished from a resident company, which performs in one home theater.
