[Anna Komnene]

I wrote this bill to recognize the contributions of my friend and our former distinguished Pontifex Maximus, Lumine, has made with his series of Atlasian musicals. Not only are they extremely well written and fun but also help bring people together after what can be a very different kind of post-election drama. This act seems especially fitting after the news of The Atlasians success at the 63rd Grammy Awards!

My original idea was to create a regional theater, but as it turns out, we already have one thanks to former First Minister Kamala. Still, the Frémontian Center for the Arts could use a more interesting name, and I can't think of anything more fitting than Lumine after all the work he's put into making musical theater in Atlasia a thing. Section 3 establishes a museum of sorts at the theater to preserve a collection of memorabilia from his musicals for posterity. Section 4 turns the regional center for the arts into a true "regional theater" by providing annual funding to support the theater in exchange for increasing access to low income students. And Section 5 was actually Lumine's idea. When I asked him what he'd like to see in this bill, he suggested that the center support the region's school drama programs to make sure young people aspiring to perform in the theater can have that chance to achieve their dreams.

I'm looking forward to working with you all to make this bill the best it can be, so we can hopefully pass it during the encore!

I entirely agree with the Speaker's opinion of Lumine's artistic contributions, which are masterful, and as someone who has extremely fond memories of his school drama class experiences, I find Section 4 and Section 5 just heart-warming.
So in substance, I strongly support this bill. I don't even know if it needs improvement, but I'd like to give my contributions.

I think we could specify a set period of the year for the performance at §5(2) - presumably at the end of the school year in early summer.

I would also support introducing a penalty to pay for anyone who utters the name of The Scottish Play inside the regional theatre.

[Amanda Huggenkiss]

I am very content with the fact the there are quite a number of bills introduced this session with the aim of promoting cultural education for everybody. I will happily vote for all of those proposals.

@Timing - that's a good idea. Does June sound good?

@Scottish Play - Hahaha we wouldn't want bad luck in our theater!

I would introduce the following amendments:

Section 5. Support for School Drama Programs and Scholarship Fund
1. $50 million is appropriated annually for the Lumine Regional Center for the Arts to provide programs and assistance to school drama programs in the region, as well as to establish a scholarship fund to help students with financial needs attend college to study theater, dance, or other performing arts.
2. At least one musical from the Reuental Media Group collection shall be put on per year, to be performed by a cast and crew of scholarship fund recipients during the month of June.

Section 6. Theatrical Superstitions
1. Any person who will utter the name "Macbeth" inside the Lumine Regional Center for the Arts, other than as called for in the script while rehearsing or performing, shall be required to make an offer not inferior to $1 that will help funding the scholarship established in §5, and to perform the following ritual to remove the curse: leave the room occupied when the name was mentioned, spin around three times, spit, curse, and then knock to be allowed back in.

Section 6. 7. Effectiveness

1. This act shall be effective immediately upon passage.

The second amendment is facetious. Feel free to ignore it if you wish.

[YE]

Lumine is great.

[Anna Komnene]

The first amendment is adopted.

I'll take Battista's suggestion to ignore the second one officially on account of it being facetious. But I hope the theater students might develop something like that on their own!

[Anna Komnene]

I motion for a final vote. 24 hours for objections.

[YE]

No objections.

[Anna Komnene]

It's time for the curtain call. We'll now have a final vote. Members please vote AYE (Bravo), NAY (Boo), or ABSTAIN (Crickets).
