# Theater
*Level 9 Bastion facility*
- **Prerequisites**: None
- **Space**: Vast (36 sq)
- **Hirelings**: 4
- **Order**: empower
The Theater contains a stage, a backstage area where props and sets are kept, and a seating area for a small audience.
## Empower: Theatrical Event
When you issue the "Empower" order to this facility, its hirelings begin work on a theatrical production or concert. Rehearsals and other preparations take 14 days, followed by at least 7 days of performances. The performances can continue indefinitely until a new production gets underway.
You or another character can contribute to a production in the following ways:
- **Composer/Writer.** A character can compose music or write a script for a concert or production that hasn't started rehearsals yet. This effort takes 14 days.
- **Conductor/Director.** A character who remains in the Bastion for the entirety of the production can serve as the concert's conductor or the production's director.
- **Performer.** A character who remains in the Bastion for the entirety of the rehearsal period can be a star performer in one or more of the performances; one of the Theater's hirelings can serve as an understudy for additional performances.
At the end of a rehearsal period, each character who contributed to the concert or production can make a DC 15 Charisma ([Performance](skills.md#Performance)) check. If more of these checks succeed than fail, you and any other character who contributed to the concert or production each gain a Theater die, a `d6`. This die changes to a `d8` when you reach level 13 and a `d10` when you reach level 17. At any point after the rehearsals end, a character can expend their Theater die to roll it and add the number rolled to one [D20 Test](d20-test-xphb.md) they make, immediately after rolling the `d20`. If a character hasn't expended their Theater die before gaining another, their first die is lost.
