In conventional low pitch viewing floors, the preferred seating arrangement is to use staggered rows. While a less efficient use of floor space this allows a somewhat improved sight line between the patrons seated in the next row toward the screen, provided they do not lean toward one another. A typical modern theater presents commercial advertising shorts, then movie trailers, and then the feature film. Advertised start times are usually for the entire program or session, not the feature itself;59 thus people who want to avoid commercials and trailers would opt to enter later. This is easiest and causes the least inconvenience when it is not crowded or one is not very choosy about where one wants to sit.

Symbolic colour was also very prevalent; a black face represented honesty, a red one bravery. The rods used to control Cantonese puppets were attached perpendicular to the puppets’ heads. They were created out of thin, translucent leather (usually taken from the belly of a donkey). They were painted with vibrant paints, thus they cast a very colourful shadow. The thin rods which controlled their movements were attached to a leather collar at the neck of the puppet.

Some forms of theatrical entertainment would involve the screening of moving images and can be regarded as precursors of film. In the countries where those terms are used, the word “theatre” is usually reserved for live performance venues. Yet it is often assumed that the theatrical experience can be assimilated by reading the text of a play. In part, this is a result of the influence of theatrical critics, who, as writers, tend to have a literary orientation. Their influence is magnified by the fact that it is difficult to make serious theatre widely available; for each person who sees an important production in a theatre, thousands of others will know it only through the notices of critics.

In some jurisdictions, a rating may legally impose these age restrictions on movie theaters. Where movie theaters do not have this legal obligation, they may enforce restrictions on their own. Accordingly, a movie theater may either not be allowed to program an unrated film, or voluntarily refrain from that.

Because of their size, and amenities like plush seating and extensive food/beverage service, multiplexes and megaplexes draw from a larger geographic area than smaller theaters. Through the 19th century, the popular theatrical forms of Romanticism, melodrama, Victorian burlesque and the well-made plays of Scribe and Sardou gave way to the problem plays of Naturalism and Realism; the farces of Feydeau; Wagner’s operatic Gesamtkunstwerk; musical theatre (including Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas); F. C. Burnand’s, W. S. Gilbert’s and Oscar Wilde’s drawing-room comedies; Symbolism; proto-Expressionism in the late works of August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen;68 and Edwardian musical comedy. The art forms of ballet and opera are also theatre and use many conventions such as acting, costumes and staging. Admission to a movie may also be restricted by a motion picture rating system, typically due to depictions of sex, nudity or graphic violence. According to such systems, children or teenagers below a certain age may be forbidden access to theaters showing certain movies, or only admitted when accompanied by a parent or other adult.

The board finds out firsthand when a mumps outbreak means they might have to, for the first time, require vaccinations for students — which many parents, including some on stage, are strongly against. The short answer is that all hell breaks loose, and Eureka Day picks up steam as that happens, crescendoing at a midpoint scene where the board invites the whole school community into a virtual town hall. Overlapping dialogue among the board members and increasingly cruel comments, projected onto the set, from parents on both sides of the debate make for a chaotic mess that’s also one of the funniest moments on Broadway right now.

A great variety of films are shown at cinemas, ranging from animated films to blockbusters to documentaries. The smallest movie theaters have a single viewing room with a single screen. The largest theater complexes, which are called multiplexes—a concept developed in Canada in the 1950s—have up to thirty screens.
