traveling shows
Itinerant entertainment troupes
Traveling shows are entertainment productions that move from place to place rather than performing at a fixed venue.
The term covers circuses, carnivals, theater troupes, and musical acts that tour through towns and cities: The traveling show set up in the fairgrounds for a week.
Before mass media, traveling shows brought spectacle to rural communities that had no theaters or concert halls.
