[Waterpark] Amphitheatre

[Maddyn]

Riparia Theatre

There was but a single pathway towards the theatre given its location, and right upon the entrance that led towards this was a simple wooden booth. Inside a rather bored looking Human wearing a wide brimmed hat with a long white feather dangling on one side could be seen. Plain featured but even that changed whenever the man looked up at a new customer when the show was about to begin and changed into a charismatic grin that had an infectious cheer to it. Next to this was a board of dull crimson paint with gold stencilled writing on top in Charismaen.

Further down the pathway, and blockaded by tree’s for the main that obscured vision was the theatre itself. Those who sought to enter without payment would find themselves most likely at the attention of one of the various ‘enforcers’ who were set to make sure that everything was orderly. It wasn’t the largest of areas but it certainly managed to fulfil the purpose it’d been created for. Though to call it a building even was a rather generous statement given that the theatre had been designed upon the traditional scheme of things where it was more of an amphitheatre. Situated near some of the smaller pools of water with a stage constructed for the actors and actress’ usage, where it lacked in size it made up more than adequately in funding and design. A semi circle of seats made from heavy stone blocks was formed about the stage in a rising scale for a grand total of ten rows deep. The stage itself was deliberately placed in a pit rather than a raised platform so that there wasn’t any doubt that everyone situated in the stand could see the play.

This was where the shows took place, a polished maple floor with absolutely no props or any tools to liven up the play further. The wall that the stage backed up on was a pleasant light blue in colouring with a pair of openings in the far right and left hand of the stages. These naturally were linked to the actual building that was where the performers changed and readied the scenes for the audiences’ benefit.

And when the play began, everything changed…
