Ned H. Rirger Theater is a theater in The City.

History

The theater put on multiple plays in The City. Only two plays are currently known:

• The World Is Quiet Here, a play coded by VFD and written by Linda Rhaldeen.
• One Last Warning to Those Who Try to Stand in My Way, which replaced The World Is Quiet Here and was written by Al Funcoot.

It is also possible that the playhouse put on the following plays, mentioned in Lemony Snicket's review column, though it is not confirmed:

• The Case of the Vegetarian Murderer
  • Including an Inspector Auster and a lying Taxi Driver.
• Look Out for That Axe!
  • Including a tap-dance number in the middle.
• Cats
• The Most Handsome Man in the World
  • The first play by Al Funcoot.
• Why, I Believe I've Become Even More Handsome!
  • The sequel to The Most Handsome Man in the World by Al Funcoot.

It is known that audience members are allowed to bring live sheep to the performances.

Employees

• Beatrice Baudelaire - Actress (replaced)
• Esmé (?) - Actress
• Al Funcoot - Actor / Playwright
• White-Faced Women - Actresses

Trivia

• "Ned H. Rirger" is an anagram for "Red Herring."
• As both known plays performed in the theater were connected to VFD, though by two different sides, it is likely that the theater is somehow connected to the organization.
