I have never been to this theatre but i’m going to have to someday

The setting and mechanics of the moving going experience have always presented challenges with cleanliness (dimly lit, hidden/difficult to access areas, food/drink being discarded on the floor,etc.). However, the modern trend towards expanded menu options, tighter turnaround times, and ever decreasing staffing to meet diminishing payroll budgets have only added to the problem.

The annoying thing about the news pieces, “whistle blowers”, etc. is that they rarely address or aid in the problem. More often than not they merely result in hurting people who are doing their best under difficult circumstances. Following such publicity, staff members/managers are fired or face disciplinary action and there is pressure placed on the operation to “clean up their act”. Yet, customers continue to treat the venue like a dumping ground and companies continue to cut back on resources to do the job.

This theatre opened with The Preacher’s Wife (SDDS; on four screens), Jerry Maguire (SDDS; on four screens), Mars Attacks! (SDDS; on three screens), Bugs Bunny Film Festival ‘97, 101 Dalmatians (SDDS; on three screens), The English Patient (on two screens), Daylight (on two screens), The Mirror Has Two Faces (SDDS), Space Jam (SDDS), Star Trek: First Contact (on two screens), Jingle All the Way (SDDS), Random (SDDS), and William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet (SDDS).
