What do we call a group of stage actors?
Solution 1:
If they come together just for a single performance, they are called the cast of the play. However, if they regularly perform together, they may be called a troupe or repertory company.
Troupe generally applies to groups that travel from one venue to another, and may sometimes be used for groups that tour for only one show. Repertory company refers specifically to a group that performs multiple successive shows together, and usually has a stationary home theatre (though repertory companies may also tour).
