Ember Island Theater

The Ember Island Theater is a theater located in Ember Island, a small resort located in the outer islands of the Fire Nation. This theater was the place where "The Boy in the Icerberg" was played. It is first seen in "The Ember Island Players".

Description
The Ember Island Theater is possibly the best small stage, local theater in all of the Fire Nation. It is supported by upper class Ember Islanders who like everything on their best little vacation spot just perfect. This theater was recently renovated and anyone who comes here almost always seems to comment about how delightful it looks. The plays however, are not as good as the theater. The theater is relatively big. It has a red curtain in the setting and the illumination is provided by lanterns located in the roof of the place.



The stage is separated from the space provided for the public by a bench which is accessed by stairs that are at the ends. The public section is located in front of the stage, either at a level lower than this, or in the gallery, which has several tiers available for people.

Ember Island Players
The Ember Island Players are a local acting troupe who perform at Ember Island's only theater. They do not have a reputation for quality acting, but they take themselves very seriously and almost always pack the house, though this is probably because the theater is one of the only sources of night time entertainment on the island.



The Ember Island players are all professionals, however their pay is relatively low. Almost all of them wish to advance to a greater stage. Their plays feature very overly-dramatic acting, and dazzling special effects. They recently aired the play "The Boy in the Iceberg". They also frequently perform (or "butcher", according to Zuko) the play, "Love Amongst the Dragons". When Zuko was young, his mother used to take him to see their plays.

History
It is unknown the complete history of the Ember Island Theater. In the episode "The Ember Island Players", Team Avatar, including at this moment to Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Suki and Zuko, go to the theater to see the play "The Boy in the Iceberg". At first, Katara didn't think it would be a good idea to attend a play about themselves, but Sokka desperately wanted to see it. At the end of the play everyone was furious and embarrassed by the inaccurate and exaggerated portrayals. It ended with the Fire Nation winning the war and the Fire Lord killing the Avatar, frightening Aang and upsetting everyone.
