My first thought was "a play within a play", the same director and the same stage, but the performers are pretending they are the director and stage hands and characters.

Or is it like a parent company with a number of child companies? The parent apportions out resources to each child company, and has certain rules the child companies have to follow, but the child companies otherwise seem like independent entities.
