_Level 9 Bastion Facility_
**Prerequisite:** None
**Space:** Vast
**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](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2024/bastions#Empower) order to this facility, its hirelings begin work on a theatrical production or concert. Rehearsals and other preparations take 20 days, followed by at least 10 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]]) 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](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#D20Test) they make, immediately after rolling the d20. If a character hasn’t expended their Theater die before gaining another, their first die is lost.
