series of one-night stands

[user_gary]

When I was 20, I got what every actor dreams of -- a permanent job! The A. B. Marcus show, La Vie Paree, was an extravaganza that had been touring the world for quarter of a century, and I joined the cast. We played the Orient for a couple of years and then returned to the States for a series of one-night stands. When we reached the New York area, I went home to see Pop.

Could anyone explain the highlighted words, please?

1) Extravaganza = an entertainment show of lavish proportions, with lots of characters, lots of costumes, many acts.
Touring the world = a travelling show.
A quarter of a century = 25 years.
I joined the cast = this person became a part of the travelling show.

2) Orient = the East (Asia). It's the opposite of the Occident, or the West (Europe/North & South America).

3) Series of one-night stands = many appearances in different locations, lasting only one night at a time.

Thank you.

So, you mean (touring the world mean travelling around the world)

Is it right?
