Concept:
            The family entertainment center is set up as a big city theatre with many different rooms and sections for different types of shows.  The main room will be set up with a stage in front and several tables out just past the stage for people to sit with full wait service. A menu of appetizers and cocktails will be left on every table for people to order from. Along the edges of the room will be two different rows of booths, one set up higher than the other in theatre style. A few of the booths will be reserved every night, or every show depending on the day, to allow the local “gangsters” to arrive. Just before the show starts several large Guido looking men will walk through caring (fake) guns strapped to their sides, then the “boss” will arrive followed by more security. They will all take up place at the reserved table to watch the show, and on a good night you might even get to see someone take out the boss. The shows where a boss gets whacked will be late night shows, probably after 10:30. And should a parent arrive with small children an usher will let them know quietly that this show will involve violence.

 

           As for the actual performances they will range from comedy and magic shows, to big band and burlesque. There will be several different rooms, some of them with balconies and large enough for real a headlining comedy / concert tour.  The goal is to keep people coming back, so tickets will be reasonable if you buy just one but an overall season pass can be purchased for much cheaper.
