## General Information

The GreenGrove Annex Theater is a building within the town of GreenGrove that serves as the primary location for plays, musicals and other theater events. In the case of the novel, it is the place where FlamDawg's big play, *A Doctor's Broom*, was performed.

## Description

Being a theater building, the exterior is rather grand-looking with two stories stacked in a staircase-like manner. The exterior is an orangish-brown and the trim is a deep navy blue. The name of the building is on a yellow sign suspended over the glass doors by white ornate columns.

The interior starts with a lobby room where one can sit, relax, and buy snacks before an event starts. Two doors on either side lead to the main building- as part of the annex in the name- which is one big auditorium-like room with fifteen rows of seats facing a grand stage. A second floor, accessed by the stairs on either side, leads to a hallway with various conference rooms for discussions as well as a higher level of premium seats for VIPs to watch performances in style. The stage itself spans the entire width of the room and is hidden by violet curtains. Backstage, the walls are lined with all sorts of boxes full of props and various set pieces as well as all the controls for the lighting and other stage effects. Both in the back here and on either side of the rows of seats near the front of the stage are doors that serve as exits.

The theater first appears during *The Acting Bug*, which is the start of the play arc in Season 3. Here, FlamDawg writes a play and has the other characters star in it. Rehearsal immediately begins, but there are some issues and concerns along the way. After a brief chapter taking a look into what happened before rehearsals started, the play begins and everyone performs on the big stage for an audience of nostalgic characters. It started with a scene in a hospital before transitioning to an adventure through a forest. By the time the second act began, Zack became fed up with the play and proceeded to use his Go Boom Hack to blow up each and every character- even those not currently participating in the production. This ultimately delayed the play and the group proceeded to talk backstage and discuss things in a conference room before giving up and heading back home, leaving the production unfinished. Towards the end of the year, the theater appears again during *A Calm Evening of Death and Destruction* as the place where Sarah hosts her tranquil yoga show, *Serenity Time with Sarah*. Here, the characters were forced to sit and watch as she did a thing that was less about tranquility and more about raging hostility.

It wasn't until Season 5 that we saw a return to the big stage. A few chapters into the Season, Sarah runs into the living room and exclaims that the play was never finished, prompting the others to set out and finish it. They head back to the theater and perform once more, this time with the likes of Dennis, Kotaro, and Princess Sarah as well as several celebrities Zack invited over. A new character, Alex, also makes his debut here and serves as the antagonist who kidnaps the doctor's beloved broom. In the end, the play is successfully finished and the curtain falls on FlamDawg's big production, even though it was a year late. The final appearance of the theater was at the very end of the Season during *Last Run Out*. Here, Zack gathers the characters in the theater for a big announcement, one that turned out to be little more than common knowledge to everyone invited.

## Trivia

* The GreenGrove Annex Theater was locked down following the departure from the play in Season 3. This lasted until it had a resurgence in Season 5, where it was mentioned that no one was allowed to leave until the play had finished. As a result, the same audience from last time was still there and had been waiting for it to continue for a full year.
