Stage
–Wurt
The Stage is a natural structure generated in the world of Don't Starve Together, added in A Little Drama update. It serves to better flesh out the existing story of Don't Starve, as well as provide some loot via the Briar Wolves it can spawn.
The stage can be found in various parts of the world, usually in the Triple MacTusks biome or in a clearing close to the Florid Postern. It consists of an arch with a raised floor, surrounded by a Lush Carpet and Mosaic Flooring. Beside the stage is a poster and two Stagehands.
To start the main performance, the player(s) need to wear the correct Costumes and interact with the arch. Then, shadow hands appear and control the characters themselves, playing scenes from the story.
A performance can be done with fewer players than the number of characters in the scene; this is accomplished by placing Mannequins on the stage. Mannequins being used as actors must be appropriately costumed. Excess mannequins are ignored during the performance, and the one that spawns by default near the stage is not close enough to be used as an actor.
Attempting to break hand props with a Hammer or other attacks causes shadow hands to emerge from under in response, attacking the player and inflicting 80 damage.
Scenes
When the main performance starts, Mocking Birds appear around the stage, heckling the actors.
The main performance follows the journey of a Doll. The Doll encounters various figures: a caring Blacksmith, a powerful King, a mysterious Mirror, and a Fool. A player may also play the role of a Tree, though this tree contributes nothing to the story line and simply stands in place.
If any scenes are played not according to the script or costumes are not being used at all when performing, 3 hostile Briar Wolves spawn and the stage closes, reopening after 3-6 days.
Each character appears to represent a figure in Don't Starve's story: The Doll (and later Queen) seems to represent Charlie, the Blacksmith Winona, the King Maxwell, the Mirror to be "Them" or a similar being, and finally the Fool to be Wilson or another survivor. The story seems to be biased in the favor of the Doll, something pointed out by Maxwell after Act 2, Scene 1 ends.
Characters can also act out their own unique soliloquies by interacting with the arch by themselves. The soliloquy presented is decided by either the current playable character or what costume they are currently wearing. There is also a unique performance if a player wearing a Queen costume and another wearing a Blacksmith costume begin a play together.

Trivia
- Wilson quotes the song "Major-General's Song" from Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera The Pirates of Penzance.
- Wanda quotes the poem "You Are Old, Father William" from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- Warly quotes "Le chant de ceux qui s'en vont sur mer" (or in English The Song of those Who Go On) by Victor Hugo, circa 1868.
- Webber quotes the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet". If he is with a spider on stage, he will quote the poem "The Spider and the Fly" instead.
- Wendy quotes La Belle Dame sans Merci by John Keats.
- Willow quotes her own modified version of The Tyger by William Blake.
- Wortox quotes A Midsummer Night's Dream, specifically Act 2 Scene 1.
- Maxwell's commentary in the end of the Act 2 Scene 1 was "Is that really how she remembers it?".
- Wigfrid sings instead of having a soliloquy, making her the only character with an in-game voiceline and the second character with a canonical voice after Charlie.
- In a Refresh Rhymes With Play Dev Cast about "A Little Drama Update", May Wa came in with homemade Mocking Birds puppets. Later, she posted via Instagram instructions on how to create such puppets.
- While standing on the stage, the player has a unique talking animation, gesturing about as they talk. This appears to be a feature of standing on the stage itself. While this is mostly shown during performances, it can also be seen while inspecting or typing a message in chat while standing upon the stage.
- Walter will use said animations if he is telling a campfire story on the stage. Clicking the campfire repeatedly will cause him to spam the start of the gesture animations.
