Reserved seating: 20 minutes covers parking and concessions. General admission: 30-45 minutes for a good seat, more for cult screenings where the front rows and aisle seats vanish first. Interactive shows often stage pre-show bits worth catching, and late arrivals to immersive productions are sometimes held out until a break. October weekends add parking time everywhere downtown.
Treat it as an endurance event: eat a real meal beforehand, alternate caffeine with water, and use the intermissions to walk and stretch rather than doomscroll in your seat. Bring a hoodie, since theaters cool down overnight, plus eye drops and a snack stash within the venue's rules. Arrange the ride home in advance; nobody makes good transit decisions at 4 am.
Stricter than movies: immersive and small-house productions often require phones fully off or pouched, since a lit screen wrecks a blackout scene for the whole room, and some ghost tours-turned-shows ban recording of performers outright. Photo moments, when offered, are announced. Silence it before entering, not during the first scare, and take the no-phone hour as part of the atmosphere.
