How this list was compiled

A list of 109 drama group names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in six groups. Every name carries a word of the theater: the stage, the curtain, the wings, a cue, the spotlight, the cast, the crew, a puppet or the pit. None was taken from a play, a musical, a playwright, a theater company, a film, a show or a song; any match with a real company is a coincidence. The stage terms the names lean on were looked up on 2026-10-03 in three English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Stagecraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecraft), Theatre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre) and Parts of a theatre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_of_a_theatre). Each name of two or more words was searched on English Wikipedia the same day, and the .com and .org address of each name was asked for as well. A name we coined that turned out to be a title, a band, a company, an event or a real group was taken out; an everyday saying or a plain term was kept. Plain words are shared widely, so somebody somewhere may already use one of these names. Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
