A friend of mine got booked into a new venue for strolling as a result of his street performing. He was approached by the regional manager of the Showcase Cinemas, and booked to do strolling in the massive theatre lobbies on various nights.
With the size of the new multiplex theatres, which are practically becoming 'micro-malls,' strolling entertainment makes sense. Steve

Hmmm, that's an interesting venue. I wouldn't have expected a theater to book a magician, or any other form of entertainment for that matter. Most people are usually rushing to get to their movies, let alone stop and see magic.
I still think it might work, however, so let us know how it works out for you friend. Marty |

So far it's working out very well.

I found work in theater lobbies to help kick off the Harry Potter movies. Made sense to them and it played well.
A surprising number of people will buy tickets for a later show and often have nothing better to do than hang out. Sometimes they develop long lines of people waiting for a previous showing to clear out before they are allowed to go in. It works in that instance as well.
