Theatrical troupe

Theatrical troupe , sometimes referred to as an acting company, is a group of theatrical performers working together. They may work in <a href="/facts/Repertory_theatre/5mVNYNpl">repertory</a> other types of <a href="/facts/Theatre/Tq0mvBI8">theatres</a>, and may take performances on tour. They are not the same as a <a href="/facts/Theatre_company/Tq0mvBI8">theatre company</a>, which is an organisation that produces theatrical performances, although there is sometimes an overlap in terminology.
The troupe is termed a resident acting company (or resident company) if they are supported by a particular theatre, where they have a home base, such as the <a href="/facts/Everyman_Theatre%2c_Baltimore/Y4xKPwzo">Everyman Theatre</a> in <a href="/facts/Baltimore/ncJvTzBU">Baltimore</a>, Connecticut, United States The <a href="/facts/State_Theatre_Company_of_South_Australia/QTARdMr2">State Theatre Company of South Australia</a>, whose home base is at the <a href="/facts/Adelaide_Festival_Centre/KGT3U7ya">Adelaide Festival Centre</a>, is referred to as the resident artistic company.
Troupes are frequently organised by <a href="/facts/Theatre_practitioner/bXk45UfV">theatre practitioners</a> (e.g. <a href="/facts/Bertolt_Brecht/Jttg3tUA">Bertolt Brecht's</a> <a href="/facts/Berliner_Ensemble/ulvToyVy">Berliner Ensemble</a> or <a href="/facts/Tadeusz_Kantor/wn2YyArn">Tadeusz Kantor's</a> <a href="/facts/Cricot_2/KolJ9oGy">Cricot 2</a>). The membership can be divided into <a href="/facts/Permanent_employment/YDdKc1Rz">permanent</a> or <a href="/facts/Temporary_work/Hu0IUlDT">temporary</a> as, for example, in the <a href="/facts/Com%25C3%25A9die-Fran%25C3%25A7aise/WunSux1v">Comédie-Française</a> (French: <a href="/facts/Soci%25C3%25A9taires_of_the_Com%25C3%25A9die-Fran%25C3%25A7aise/KegaWrL0">sociétaires</a> and pensionnaires).
