The Shenram family founded the first theatre in Celetarii.


The previously merchant Shenram family found the first official theatre in Celetarii.
After the migration from Saramkao to Celetarii, the Shenrams and other migrants arriving in the city began to spread the Saroumanan culture of performance. This mixed nicely with the performers native to Celetarii and Celtouma, who often helped perform Saroumanan stories. Some of the less accepting Tarii were moved by these performances, and became friendly to the new inhabitants.
The Shenrams saw an opportunity, not only to bring more acceptance of their people, but also to give a gift and leave a cultural mark on their new home. Shenram Harudiir asked the Council of Celetarii for permission to build a theatre in the city, this request was passed onto the Rao, who granted them permission. Once the construction had been completed, the first few plays in the theatre were hosted. The plays we both Laitarii and Saroumanan myths, and were overwhelmingly successful. Interest in Saroumanan culture flourished, and performance arts in the city gained popularity it had never seen before.
