trouping
Going on tour
Trouping is performing as part of a troupe—a company of actors, dancers, or entertainers who travel and perform together.
The word emphasizes the itinerant, collaborative nature of theatrical life: After thirty years of trouping, she'd performed in every state.
Someone who keeps trouping despite difficulties embodies the "show must go on" spirit that defines a trouper.
