It’s a real red carpet event, which really livens up the experience of scavenging for survival after a nuclear war. Everyone dresses up and crowds into an in-game theater to enjoy the show. Veteran roleplayers, like the New Responders, even run in-game film premieres to celebrate their achievements and stories. It also fits well with the broader arts and culture scene in Fallout 76. Image: Bethesda Game Studios / Bethesda Softworks via Five-0 A theater troupe makes perfect sense in this setting, and it also connects some of the most interesting parts of Fallout 76’s lifespan so far. There are also characters who muse on Roman literature, read old pulp comics, and wear pre-war fashion. In Fallout: New Vegas, the player encounters a group of people who worship and emulate Elvis, the King of Rock. Nothing about this commitment to old arts and entertainment is unusual for the franchise. The Watoga Opera House is currently showing Gioachino Rossini’s Barber of Seville, while the Grafton Globe is modelled after the London Globe, and hosts Shakespeare. The Theatre Company uses their CAMPs to make stages that mimic historical theatres. To build sets, the troupe repurposed Fallout 76’s CAMP tools, which are meant for homesteads, makeshift stores, or bases of operations.

Thanks to this experience, the troupe is well-prepared. He came together with other players to buy costumes from the Atomic Shop, and he advised on set design and the particulars of productions. Leemus now serves as the troupe’s engineering advisor, while Northern_Harvest draws on in-game inspiration combined with his background studying English literature in university. Northern_Harvest was also inspired by a player named Leemus, from the UK, who built a movie theater in Fallout 76. These mannequins still hang out today, even in the most recent and elaborate productions. As Northern_Harvest puts it, it’s “as though people resorted to them to try to re-live some form of humanity and human interaction.” Players wanted to recreate that kind of art experience through the theater company, and their earliest stages were built around these mannequins to serve simple roles. The Theatre Company was formed after players noticed there are mannequins set up - some of them posed in little scenes - around the Fallout 76 map. Lines are delivered over proximity chat as the characters act scenes out in real time. The troupe does not perform in Fallout Worlds yet, so their performances are often open to the public. If you want to attend an in-game play, all you have to do is show up at the appropriate CAMP. #Fallout76 /SpwwsKIKPe- The Theatre Company September 12, 2021 Part of the "Western Theme" CAMP challenge.
