Although it's not often performed, everyone loves the St. Crispin's Day speech from Henry V, so you take a moment to declaim:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here.

When you're finished, the cast and crew offer you a short round of applause, and you dismiss them with congratulations.

Everyone hurries to their dressing rooms to change their clothes and get ready to attend the gala reception waiting in your theatre's lobby. Now, after weeks of constant work, you can retreat to your office for a few moments of peace before the party. You see the plaque on your door with your name in shining letters. In a time when men and women are often theatre managers, what gender are you?

I am a man.
I am a woman.
Theatre is about role-playing, and I don't attend to such distinctions.

And finally, under "Rumar .," there is the name of your theatre in big letters. What does it say?

The Park Theatre: a monument to the neighborhood's former glory, but pristine in itself.
The Broadway Theatre: a jewel in the heart of the city.
The Winter Garden: a street-front spectacle that the press loves to write about.
The Olympic Theatre: a tasteful, imposing home for art and entertainment.
.'s Theatre: a well-balanced mix of luxury and practicality.
None of these names suit my style.

Modeled on a fashionable London theatre, yours is a squat, rough building on the outside, but its auditorium boasts one of the most elaborately painted ceilings of any American theatre, with an ornate depiction of the nine Muses, each practicing her art high above the smoky chandeliers.

Having supervised the building's renovation yourself, you're confident that everything is shipshape. The only exception is that the gas jets extinguish themselves every night around two in the morning. No one knows why, but you'll fix it in due time.

Besides that annoyance, what is your theatre's main drawback?

It is expensive.
It's in a rough area of town that discourages respectable patrons.
The location is a bit too far uptown for some patrons to visit.
There's nothing flashy about it, so the press has largely ignored it.
