Theatre

The Theatre is located on the Spin-a-yarn Square, in the center of the Marrow. It is apparently the home of Mark Immortell.

"An alien thing, like a flying saucer that’s descended upon the town. Through the “theatre of death”, the player enters the meta level—quite literally, since it’s where the game loads from. Like an actor whose character has just died, the player exits through the Theatre doors and back into the world—invulnerable in his or her own way, belonging to the world of death. However, the Theatre also becomes the point where the town’s clinging to life is at its most desperate: it’s where the hospital is set up."

Description
The theatre puts on several types of performance, including puppet shows. According to Mark, these shows are performed on a regular basis. After midnight of each day, the player may go to the Theatre to view an interpretive performance by the Masks.

Usually, these performances begin with a chorus arguing different views and ideologies pertaining to the events of the day; following this, the Masks display a tableau representing the current conflict in the story.

According to Mark, children are not permitted to view these performances.

Pathologic
Bachelor eventually designates the Theatre to be used as a morgue for Sand Plague victims.

Behind the Theatre is a manhole which leads into tunnels beneath the town. Here, during some routes, the player can find the Rat Prophet.

On the final day of each route, should the player manage to save all three sets of The Bound, they will receive an invitation to the Theatre where they will be addressed directly by The Makers.

Pathologic 2
"Strange pantomime shows are performed here every night."

The game opens with the Haruspex, Bachelor, and Changeling all present in the Theatre. The children who the Haruspex was meant to save lay in hospital beds, dead. An individual who resembles the Fellow Traveler lays in a separate bed, though notably twitches and writhes, as if alive.

The Theatre is accessible upon the Haruspex arrival in town once the story begins. Entering it during the day will show that it is empty, save for Mark Immortell being present on the stage. The player is able to speak with him, though it is unclear if this is the same Mark from the player death interactions, or if there is a difference at all between the two.

After Day 3, the Theatre is used as a hospital (and later morgue) for victims of The Plague. Artemy is able to work in the hospital for a reputation bonus and physical reward through cash and resources. Stakh and Bachelor can sometimes be found here during the day.

Pathologic: The Marble Nest
"A new pantomime is being rehearsed at the Theatre."

Located in the condemned part of Town the Theatre is inaccessible during The Marble Nest. When checking the map, Mark Immortell will be noted as in danger.

Theatre of Death
In Pathologic 2, upon dying, the player will be sent to the Theatre to speak with Mark Immortell. There, various townsfolk will be present, if they died throughout the events of the game.
