Reserved front-row seat for a single evening performance. Includes a complimentary curtain-side sweet and a stage-announcer shout-out.

Slightly improves social/Performance checks for the holder while in-house: +1 on Persuasion/Performance for the evening (roleplayed, not magical).

Hire the theater's stage (lighting and basic crew included) for a short performance or announcement. Used by traveling troupes.

House lights, a pair of stagehands, and one sound effect (thunder, drum roll, or gust) provided.

A finely crafted lute resonant with sympathetic strings; grants the wielder clearer projection and finesse.

Provides bonus to Performance checks made with the instrument. Works as a spellcasting focus for bards.

A velveteen fedora that allows the wearer to cast disguise self at will.

Cast disguise self at will. Effect lasts as per the spell.

A palm-sized crystal used by stagehands to make vivid, colored spotlights and simple illusions.

Creates focused colored light (bright light in 30 ft cone, dim 30 ft beyond) and can produce a harmless visual illusion (minor image-like) once per short rest.

A polished silver flute whose notes carry with uncanny clarity and presence.

Once per short rest: cast friends (no concentration) for the duration of a single performance or grant advantage on one creature's Performance check (must be used while playing).

Small clay vials that release theatrical, non-toxic smoke in a 5-foot radius for up to a minute.

Generates harmless obscurement; can be flavored (sweet, bitter, jasmine).

A well-made costume suitable for plays, includes makeup and an assistant to help with quick-changes.

Grants advantage on Performance checks when used as intended for a single show (roleplayed).

Fine silk ropes used for stage rigging and dramatic reveals; strong and quietly made.

Silk is stealthier than hemp — provides advantage on checks to perform quiet stage mechanics.

Powders, pigments, and adhesive that hold through sweat and stage lights.

Certain pigments can be mixed to create simple face illusions; may grant advantage on Deception/Performance for disguise attempts.

An intricately painted half-mask that subtly shifts expression to suit the wearer's intended emotion.

Grants bonus to Deception or Performance checks involving acting or roleplay while worn. Once per long rest, can cast detect thoughts (short, about intent) for roleplaying interrogation.

A treated torch that produces bright flames safely for stage use; engineered to reduce smoke.

Burns for 1 hour; safer than open torches and extinguishes on command (spoken cue).

A heavy velvet curtain threaded with magic that dampens sound behind it.

When raised, provides a silence-like bubble (areas directly behind the curtain are muted for eavesdroppers) for up to 10 minutes once per long rest. Useful for hidden entrances or private rehearsals.

A handy book containing song lists, prop inventories, and basic accounting templates used by itinerant performers.

Provides a bonus on checks to organize or recall troupe logistics if consulted.
Potions2

A red vial that heals light wounds.

Heal 2 HPHeals HP (standard potion of healing).

A sparkling amber potion that quickens the spirit; prized by actors before a critical scene.

Shop Atmosphere

Marcellus Veyre insists on conducting casual auditions for any buyer who tries more than three items; the theater has a resident raven named 'Playbill' that squawks opinions about performances (Playbill will occasionally steal small shiny items left on the counter). Marcy gives longtime customers a 'Backstage Mark' — a painted dot on the palm that grants free entry to 'Second Wind' nights (one free show per month) and a complimentary vial of Stage Smoke.
