I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'performers' group' is the definition.
'troupe' can be an answer for 'group'. I'm unsure of the 'performers'' bit.

'processed ore put' is the wordplay.
'processed' indicates an anagram.
'ore'+'put'='oreput'
'oreput' anagrammed gives 'TROUPE'.

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for troupe that I've seen before include "A company of actors or acrobats" , "Group of entertainers" , "Acting company" , "Group of touring players" , "Group of performers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
