Item #: SCP-040-PT

Threat Level: ● Yellow

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-040-PT is currently present in a chemical toilet door located at Site PT5 in a containment room only accessible to Level 3 personnel. 5 D-Class subjects must enter SCP-040-PT every day and watch the entire schedule presented by SCP-040-PT-A to avoid the dematerialization of SCP-040-PT and the occurrence of a containment breach.

FTM PT40-δ ("The Actors") must go to the coordinates left by SCP-040-PT and then isolate the area. If civilians enter, Class B amnestics should be used and the civilians evacuated.

Description: SCP-040-PT is a theater that can manifest itself in any type of room ruled by a door, as long as it is free of living beings¹ and without internal or external observation. The size of the room does not seem to matter for the manifestation of SCP-040-PT, however it will not manifest if the room has any means of looking at it from the outside.

SCP-040-PT has a total of 300 seats divided into 15 rows that are classified from the Alpha letter to the Omicron. All seats, with the exception of Lambda row, are occupied by humanoid entities (referred to as SCP-040-PT-1) but possessing masks with different expressions, apparently made of a metallic compound. Interactions with SCP-040-PT-1 are not possible.

The stage of SCP-040-PT remains with the curtain closed for approximately 10 minutes once a sentient individual enters SCP-040-PT. After this time has elapsed, an 040/∆ event will occur which will proceed in the following sequence:

• The curtains will open featuring a humanoid entity wearing a reminiscently Greek mask, long dark red-colored garments and a top hat, referred to as SCP-040-PT-A, which will then vocalize a male voice that will say: "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the great show of the Ostium Theater!"
• SCP-040-PT-A will then present the "schedule" of the performances.
• The curtain will close and SCP-040-PT-A will dematerialize. After a period of 5 minutes, the curtains will open presenting the first performance of the schedule previously said by SCP-040-PT-A.

Upon entry of an individual into SCP-040-PT, an amount equivalent to R$10.00 will be deducted from their monetary possessions. If the amount cannot be paid through cash or credit, something of equivalent value, belonging to the individual in question, will be dematerialized.

At the entrance of SCP-040-PT, there is a stone inscribed with inscriptions, apparently in Greek, on one of the walls that shows the history of SCP-040-PT. (See Transcript/040)

Performances made in SCP-040-PT usually do not have great complexity of actions and have highly diverse themes, never including a central theme. These include humanoids physically similar to SCP-040-PT-A and -1., however there were no performances where the individual who entered SCP-040-PT was involved. After the "The Subject" performance, this information was disregarded. (See Table of performances)

After the performances are over, SCP-040-PT will demanifest itself, leaving a note pasted on the door saying:

We are done with our performances for today, we'll be back again in 36 hours!

This only happens if, at least, there were 5 human beings inside who watched the performed routines completely.

SCP-040-PT will only dematerialize and move from its location if the minimum number of spectators is not reached, leaving a note stuck to the surface of its old access door:

We appreciate your permission to use this venue for our performances!
Date of the next performance: (date of the next manifestation of SCP-040-PT)
Location: (coordinates of the materialization of SCP-040-PT)

Addendum: On 10/01/19, there was an attempt to step onto the stage of SCP-040-PT during a performance, D-910234, while attempting to step onto the stage, was dematerialized and materialized back to their original seat.

Name of the performance	Description
The Organization	On stage, three instances of SCP-040-PT-1 wearing lab coats appeared, they pretended to be testing some kind of glass cube with a kind of nucleus in its center that glowed a reddish hue. After a period of 5 minutes the glass part of the cube shattered, releasing the nucleus which then created a kind of supernova, carbonizing the two instances of SCP-040-PT-1.
The School	A set of 15 instances of SCP-040-PT-1 of smaller stature and one instance of SCP-040-PT-1 of similar size as the ones seen before enter the stage, in this there are 16 desks lined up as in an ordinary classroom. The 15 smaller instances of SCP-040-T-1 sit in these desks and the larger instance starts saying seemingly random words in Greek2. After a period of 7 minutes, one of the smaller instances starts screaming then the larger instance proceeds to attack it with a pen that was in its pocket until the smaller instance is apparently dead.
The Time Travelers	Two instances of SCP-040-PT-1 enter the stage where there is a kind of machine with a door, buttons and a sign written in Greek "Temporal Machine", the two instances proceed to enter this machine, then a lightning strikes them. A period of 10 seconds passes and the door opens revealing the two instances, who fall unconscious, then another two instances of SCP-040-PT-1 enter the scene with outfits and appearances similar to the previous ones, these two new instances look at each other, looking confused; the machine door closes and after another 10 seconds another two instances of SCP-040-PT-1 similar to the previous one fall from the machine, this process is repeated for 5 minutes until the performance is finished and the curtain is closed.
The Subject	The curtains open, revealing a large cage, four instances of SCP-040-PT-1 come into the scene, one of them is carrying an unidentified type of device that is placed inside the cage, after a period of 30 seconds, D-301002 is teleported inside the cage, then one of the instances of SCP-040-PT-1 enters the cage with a syringe filled with yellowish colored liquid that it tries to inject into D-301002. D-301002 tries to attack the instance of SCP-040-PT-1 but the other instances intervene, holding them. After the injection, all four instances leave the scene. D-301002 lays on the floor for a period of 5 minutes, standing up shortly thereafter and vomiting a cube with rounded corners, then D-301002 is teleported back to their seat. The four instances return and remove the cube from the cage and the curtains close.

After the play "The Subject", D-301002 was thoroughly examined but there were no signs of abnormalities in their body.

+Transcript/040

Translated from Greek:

In 500 BC, our founder Diogenes formed a team of 20 actors, who performed for ages. A self-proclaimed entity "Epidesis" introduced itself to Diogenes and asked if he wanted to introduce himself to a larger and constant audience with some special guests, Diogenes accepted without hesitation.
Since then, we have been constantly performing across the ages and our founder Diogenes, immortalized in our performances.

Discovery: On 04/12/18, a series of videos were posted on the Youtube video streaming platform showing a chemical toilet with non-Euclidean properties, with an entrance leading to a theater hall; after extensive analyzes, it was concluded that there were no changes to the video. A MTF was sent to the author of the video, who led to the object, SCP-040-PT was contained and Class B Amnestics were applied to the author of the video.
