The Reed Stage
A small, circular structure crafted from silvered pine and capped with a thinning thatch roof. Its central floor is packed earth, surrounded by two levels of narrow, creaking galleries. The wood is deeply weathered by rain and wind, giving the building a pale, skeletal appearance.

History
The Current Repertoire
The theatre currently rotates through three popular folk plays: The Hunter's Return, The Silent Miller, and a comedic farce titled The Baker's Blunder. These plays provide a bonus to local knowledge checks when discussed with patrons.
Backstage Resources
The prop room is a cluttered mess of wooden swords and painted masks. A thorough search might reveal a disguise kit or several bottles of low-grade theatrical makeup that can be repurposed.
Performance Mechanics
Due to the intimate size and excellent reed-based acoustics, any character performing on the main stage gains a +1 bonus to Bardic Performance checks, but the DC for Stealth is increased by 2 due to loud, creaky floorboards.
