The Wandering Monster

The Wandering Monster is officially not a stage or a theater, but rather a small, independent park. Of course the "park" has seats in a natural amphitheater, all facing a lowered section of short-cropped grass. However, since it does not officially count as a stage, anyone can perform here without bothering with a Performers' Guild. It is thus a popular venue for itinerant performers, often of bawdy material such as ribald songs, limericks, and puppet shows of questionable character. A few "regular" troupes and acts make appearances on set nights. In years past, the District Watch often harassed performers here in an attempt to performers here in an attempt to force them to join Alain Always's guild. However, in recent months the Brotherhood of Abadar has kept at least one member here at all times to ensure that no one is forced out unless he violates some law. Even so, the name of anyone giving a show here generally gets back to Always, and generally ensures the performer won't receive guild approval if he applies for it.
