Dramatic performance showing people the tragedies of Ahlul Bayt (AS) and their followers is good as far it is done within the frame of Shariah. Doing ion Imambara or zHusainiyyah depends on the situation of the place and what the trustees or Mutawalli sees suitable.

Khums . Money . Masjid . Imambargah

Can we use Khums money in the renovation of a Masjid or Imambargah?

No unless the Marje' of Taqleed permits. Usually such works should be funded by the believers from their own money and not from the money of Khums which should go to the most deserving people.

Mosque . Imambargah

Can we give a mosque the additional status of an Imambargah? Or is it allowed to convert a mosque into an Imambargah?

Masjid remains Masjid till the Day of Judgement and no way to change it to any other use. We can not change a Masjid to imambargah or to an orphanage or to a school even a religious school. All activities of Imambargah, religious school and helping orphans etc can be done in the Masjid but it remains a Masjid only.

'In some places, Masjid and Imambargah are built together on the same building by making the Qibla side of the building as a Masjid, and the other side as an Imambargah.
