===='''Dandaro's Quilia Theater'''====
'''Impresario Dandaro Alaguilla''' is a famous theater owner on the shadow of Quilal. He ran theater companies for 90 years before he lapsed into dementia at the age of 103 and was preparing woefully for death. One night he rose and in a delirium slipped family and friends and wandered off in his hometown. The forces of Mandalay called to him and unknowingly he followed a shadow trail that brought him to the Dramaturge. Once there he was assisted by residents knowledgeable with the way Mandalay drew people.  He was entered into a medical clinic where he was rejuvenated to the age of 80, at which point his mental condition was cleared and treated and he could discuss his situation.  He chose to be fully rejuvenated to the age of 21.

He began working as a Capri Cart driver reciting poetry and monologues to his customers. 

In time he worked in other venues and performed in various plays, and eventually decided to open a venue himself

First he found a Venue space. Finding a 400 seat theater suited to the small cast plays he was famous for in his world, he made plans for a new career. He negotiated with the Block Manager for a 5% '''''Ob''''' donation from his shares in appreciation of the use of the space. The Block Manager oversees a number of Venues within a defined space. (The Block Manager has to juice up to the Sector Manager, who juices to the District Manager, who juice to the Regional Director or Mayor.)

He established 7 Tier '''''Ob''''' level structure. This is a fairly typical grouping for a medium sized Venue. This means everyone on his staff fits into one of the 7 levels. A person at a tier level gets one share of the total '''''Obs''''' taken in for a performance each level. At the end of a night the total gathered '''''Obs''''' will be divided according to the total shares of the venue company.

For the <big>'''Quilia Theater'''</big> the tiers are as follows:

*'''7-Venue level:''' Dandaro as venue '''Owner''', Rukana Shalm '''Theater Manager'''. Dandaro has the final say in nearly everything but is not necessarily in charge of the day to day functions of the Venue, For that he hired Shalm to over see such things as maintenance, cleaning, upkeep, renovation, non-production staff.
*'''6-Director Level:''' '''Event Director''' oversees the performance of the play itself. '''Staff Director''' and '''Treasurer''' manages company staff and dispenses '''''Obs''''', Musical Director oversees incidental and performance music.
*'''5-Technical Level:''' '''Technical Director''', '''Costume Manager''', '''House Manager''', '''Main Cast Members'''(If the show highlights a main cast member), '''Main Band Leader'''
*'''4-Manger Level:''' A great many people overseeing senior elements; '''Cast manager''', '''Production manager''', '''stage manager''', '''Floor Manager'''. '''Cast members'''. '''Read director'''.
*'''3-Staff level:''' '''Actors''', '''makeup artists''', '''crew members'''. '''Senior Janitor'''. '''Musicians'''.
*'''2-Support level:''' many active members below decision making level: '''Extras''', '''chorus''', '''Ushers'''
*'''1-Venue Maintenance Staff:''' '''Janitor'''. '''Foot Publicity'''.

*The remaining 20 represent various amounts.

For a total of 4700 collected '''''Obs''''' for one night's performance.

This gives 4700 '''''Obs''''' divided by 296 shares giving 15 '''''Obs''''' per share. 15.87 but Fractions are rounded down to the benefit of the venue manager.
So: Nightly Payouts.

*Tier 7 individuals (2) get 7 shares at 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 1O5 0bs. 2 for 210 '''''Obs'''''.
*Tier 6 individuals (5) get 6 shares a 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 90 '''''Obs'''''. 5 for 450
*Tier 5 individuals (5) get 5 shares at 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 75 '''''Obs'''''. 5 for 375
*Tier 4 individuals (20) get 4 shares at 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 60 '''''Obs'''''. 20 for 1200
*Tier 3 Individuals (25) get 3 shares at 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 45 '''''Obs'''''. 25 for 1125

*Tier 1 individuals (12) get shares at 15 '''''Obs'''''/share = 15 '''''Obs'''''. 12 for 180.

4400 '''''Obs''''' of 4700 are distributed by Shares. 300 are given to the Venu Owner above his Share Cut.. The Run of a the Play was contracted for 90 performances spread over 120 days.

For 399, 600 '''''Obs''''' dispersed by shares for the run of the show. 23,400 to the Venue Manager. The Venue manager owes 5% of the total take in '''''Obs''''', or 19,980, to the Block Manager and might pay that out of the 20k he got from the rounding down of fractions, or may pay it out of his portion. Often the Venue Manager awards bonuses beyond the Shares given. Since it is a principle of the Dramaturge that people come there and serve in roles they enjoy, even the janitors are pleased with the '''''Obs''''' they receive.
