Many of these troupes are really just a director plus two or three relatives as performers. Extra people are roped in for a performance, and a given performer is often filling in all over the place. Backstage musicians are even harder to come by.
而其中不少團其實只是一個團主，兩、三個家族演員，演出時才四處調人，演員往往也四處搭戲，後場師傅則凋零得更厲害。
