Generic Performance Room (#1998)

(an instance of Generic Room with Stacking made by Marcus)

     If you are wearing a costume in here (that is, if you are a child of the Generic Thespian, #1223, wearing a child of the Generic Costume, #1226), your own name will be replaced with the name of your costume's role when you :say, :emote, or perform certain stage-talk functions.

Go to location of this object, wooden box.


HELP MANUAL: 
     As a child of the Generic Room with Stacking (#563), this room supports stacking.
     As a descendant of #110 and #176 this room supports MOO-weather, ambient noise, and 
other features.
     In the Performance Room, moreover, if you are a Thespian (a descendant of #1223) 
and are wearing a costume (a descendant of #1226), the most common expressive actions, 
:say, :emote, and certain stage-feature functions (borrowed from #112, the Stage 
Talk FO) are emended to refer not to your player.name, but your costume.role_msg.
     (Other verbs are likely to reveal your player.name)
     Break a leg!
