Since I guess I'm the head of this project, I suppose it's about time to get things moving! In order to keep some sense of consistency, I've developed a bit of a system here. I'll post a list of rooms that still need descriptions written and you can pick a room, write up a description, and post it here. I'll look over it and make some edits as needed, give you feedback, perhaps add some images, and ask the Wickitman to look it over. Once he gives the okay, I'll post the completed room. Sound good?
You can claim a room to work on as well, if you'd like. Just pop in and say "I'm going to work on the Bathroom" and I'll add your name beside said room on the list. I think these are going to be written in second person semi-role-play style: "You step into the grand hall and see the beautiful decorations..." ect.
Fifty-eight, once people have basic descriptions written, you can go ahead and write up your part at the end of each description as we discussed. What with impressions and emotions and all that.
So, all that said, let's get to work! Here are some images to get you started, I may actually use these in the official threads (unless Wickit had a different idea of how this place is supposed to look): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Thanks for finding those, Caramella!
The List:
Ticketing/Box Office: Jubilee Zangoose
Lobby/Foyer: Miss Conception
Theater/Auditorium (includes the stage, seating in balcony areas, as well as the orchestra pit): Caramella Tea
Backstage (includes green room and other areas): Dakki
Bathrooms: Fifty-eight
West Wing/Hotel (include descriptions of what rooms look like, from basic room to suites): nanieru
Kitchens: Haijin
Script Library:
Nursery (before and after): Dakki
Wickit, what other rooms should I add to the "we are going to have these for sure" list?

Vision wise I want this place to be huge, it used to be the greatest theater around after all.
I know that I want the first room to be a ticket area. I don't know how many old theaters you've been to, but it's often a smaller, wide area that has ticket booths on either side and tables with staff pointing you where you need to go, handing out playbooks and keeping things running. We'll probably have decked it out with pumpkins, hay stacks and posters of the various acts.
From there you have the entrance hall (we should talk to Qwake for room translations). That will be the huge area with multiple entrances to the theater itself (stair ways and all). It's where a lot of the party and gathering would happen. Chandaliers, grand piano, elegant stair cases leading to the various seating, the works. Of course it'll be on the spookier side, but these first areas will be more campy than creepy while the party is going (after the party... well that's a different story)
The theater itself is cozy, but still pretty large. It has the upper balconies for the nobles on the sides (the kind that seat about six), a large balcony for general seating, the "ground level" seating and all of that. It'll have a decent sized trench in front of the stage so that the band can play out of sight, the main fixture of that trench being a pipe organ. The pipes are massive, shooting up either side of the stage frame along the wall.
As far as decoration goes it'll have the huge dome light on the ceiling with a grand mosiac around it. The walls will have statues and curtains, the walls themselves are carved. Since it's pretty old it's designed for candle light, but has since had electricity installed.
Other public areas include the West Wing (an expansion onto the theater that has been remodled as a sort of hotel for guests) with the Kitchens (you can put those where ever you want) which you enter from the Entrance Hall.
Hope that's enough for now, I'll come up with more soon.
