Rover's Playhouse

Rover's Playhouse is a Kuboian theatre located on the western outskirts of Pointwons in Gutstone, East Kuboia. It has been owned by Rover Enterprises Ltd. since 1997, and was originally opeend in 1989 as Pointwons Theatre. It adapted its current name after being purchased by Rover Enterprises.

History
Not much is known about the theatre's origins, aside from the fact that it was opened as Pointwons Theatre in 1989. During the construction of Gizmo's Metropolis, rumours began spreading that the theatre would be bought by River Enterprises and would be rebranded as Gizmo's Theatre. The rumours were revealed to be true later that year, though it was instead rebranded as Rover's Playhouse. Under the new name, it reopened in November 1997.

In August 2011, Rover's Playhouse temporarily closed in order to allow for major refurbishments. It reopened in June 2013 - the new theatre, for the most part, keeps the old design, but it significantly polished and cleaner looking. Prior to the refurbishments, the theatre had not received any new design changes since 1998.

Background
Rover's Playhouse has three stages - the two larger stages have a seating capacity of approximately 400, whilst the third, smaller stage has a capacity of 92.

Generally, the theatre is open five days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The first performances begin at 3:00p.m. or 4:00p.m. The theatre usually closes at 10:00p.m., though may remain open for longer in order to allow some performances to finish.
