Every venue publishes its own list, and the classic kit, rice, toast, water pistols, has been banned at most theaters for cleanup and safety reasons; many sell an approved prop bag at the door for a few dollars, which is the safe play. Newspaper, gloves, and noisemakers usually survive the cut. Check the venue's rules that week, since policies change between hosts.
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.
