Pangu Twin Theaters

The twin theaters of Pangu are in the middle of the Great City. They are two blocks apart. However, both venues are taller than the surrounding buildings. The Midnight Sun is the older of the two. It’s a large circular building that looks somewhat like the Pangu Fortress, though it has an enclosed roof. Both buildings drew inspiration from the Chinese tulou, large circular buildings that could house a small village. The theater isn’t open in the center like a tulou. It is made of rammed clay and has rings of color painted on it. The bottom and top ring are a very dark blue. The ring in the middle is a reddish orange surrounded by two yellow rings. They are thick and there’s only the five. The Diurnal Moon is an outdoor theater. It has a storage building at the back with two very large slanted overhangs over the stage. The two overhang pieces use the storage building as support and create a large triangular shape. The point juts out over the stage and the bottom of the triangle hits the grass on each side. Unlike the Midnight Sun, the Diurnal Moon’s structure isn’t painted. The natural wood and reeds were simply sealed from the elements. The back of the stage, under the roof, features a large painted Earthian moon.
There aren’t any official rules or limits on what is played at each theater. However, over time, they have created a small culture of sorts. Each theater offers productions of all types, but performers tend to favor one or the other. Midnight Sun tends towards longer or more serious plays geared towards an older audience. The Diurnal Moon leans more rambunctious and often has plays geared towards younger audiences, to include children.
The one exception is shows meant for an adult only audience that include sexual situations. They are always at the Midnight Sun regardless of how bawdy or obnoxious they might be.
Performances at the Diurnal Moon will play rain or shine. Among frequent theatergoers, sitting through their first rained performance, with no protection from the elements, is a fun rite of passage. Though one that’s a note of pride for them and not always praised by others.

Administration

The primary purpose of building both theaters was to host plays and other live performances. They will also sometimes serve as community spaces. The Schoolhouses will use them for special celebrations if the Hall of Changes closest to them is unavailable.
Ouroboros Vocation manages the schedule for both theaters. Booking is first come, first serve.
Premise Vocation maintains the upkeep of the buildings.
Admission to the shows is mostly set by the performers. The maintenance is apart of the Vocation’s duties and they allot resources for them accordingly. Both theaters offer donation options and will request a specific amount of credits if needed. Donations are typically made by the performers from the credits they earn. If they don’t support the theater, it won’t exist.
There are limited options and venues because of the smaller population of Talitha Harbor and their strict rules about resource management. The performers know that if these two theaters are not maintained, they won’t have any other nice venue options in Pangu.
