Stock company (acting)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stock company, when referring to acting, is a group of actors who regularly act together, for example employed by the one theatre, who perform a set repertoire of "stock" plays. The "stock" actors would memorise set parts from their specific set of plays, allowing the group to deliver a varying set of performances. The stock company could also host visiting stars with the actors performing the supporting roles.
