One person books all seats in one transaction the day plans firm up, reserved-seat maps scatter latecomers, and collects money immediately via payment app. Send calendar invites with the actual arrival time, 30 minutes pre-show, not curtain time. Pick a lobby meeting spot, hand out tickets digitally in advance, and choose an after-show debrief venue within walking distance.
Assume yes for haunted theater, immersive productions, and midnight screenings: strobe sequences, fog and haze, sudden blackouts, loud sound cues, and occasionally actors moving through the audience. Venues post effect warnings on ticket pages and lobby signs, and box offices will answer specifics like strobe duration if you call. Photosensitive or startle-averse guests should ask about calmer performances of the same show.
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.
