While, the movie may only cost a dollar the snacks are still the same price, but if someone were looking for a movie theater experience without the movie theater price, The Dollar Movie is a great option. At a movie theater it is hard to sometimes watch a movie peacefully, but if someone has kids at home going to the theaters is a great way to escape all the noise. Movie theaters appeal to many adults with kids; since, at a theater you do not have to listen to kids crying or bothering you because they are bored, At the Alamo Draft House, a movie theater located in San Antonio kids are not allowed in the movie theater. This movie theater provides a mature movie watching experience with adults ages 18+ eliminating some noise that is usually present at a regular theater. Lastly, most movie theaters are not renown for being super comfortable with sticky floors, stiff seats, and uncontrollable temperatures.

    What if theater was free to the public? I encourage you to go look up prices to Hamilton in order to really appreciate this concept. What if performance art was no longer limited to the few for whom it is was financially feasible to throw away a couple hundred dollars on a theater ticket. The Federal Theater Project not only made theater available to all, regardless of economic status, but also employees over 10,000 artists suffering from the Great Depression.…

    When I wrote my post, I was looking at the price discrimination of movie theaters as a negative for people that work normal business hours of 9-5. I didn't give any thought to the fixed income senior citizens that benefit by going to matinee at a low cost. Each individual will look at this scenario differently, this is probably a very debatable subject. I still feel that if movie theaters were to charge the lower cost for all times and ages, that they would recoup this in concession stand sales. Do you agree with this statement?…

    Morales provides contrasting ideas between “the disrespect the Hispanic community had towards the Theater” which expresses the opinion the people in the community have about the Mexican people and “the architectural dignity of the Center” which expresses the decadence of the Theater. These contrasting phrases show how the community members feel the Mexicans are unfit to be in such a place. The notion that “they should not have attended” on the opinion that they were only there “to see one performing actress” creates a sense of exclusivity and…

Without this voice there is a large chance that laws pasted to protect farmworkers, would not exists.…

    I went to the Minskoff Theatre in New York City expecting to be very bored. I had never been to a Broadway play, and The Lion King probably wouldn’t have been my first pick if left up to me, but my wife had wanted to see it since she was a little girl. When I went to get concessions before the play started, the concession worker asked me if I was excited about the show and when I didn’t seem too enthused she mentioned that the show had been going on for 14 years, so it must be good to keep running for that amount of time. She was right and I think the play version of The Lion King was far more enjoyable than the movie version.…
