Project of the week/2010/Sep 19
Cinemas and Theatres
What are you watching? Cinemas and theatres can provide diversion and entertainment. Some places have thriving tourism economies based on theatre. Other places have numerous jobs for people creating films to ship around the world.
This Project of the Week adds your local cinemas and theatres to the map.
Tagging
Cinemas and theatres each are suitable to place as a node, a node within a shared-use building, or as a building polygon.
Cinemas vs. theatres
Cinemas show films, theatres show live performances of plays, music, comedy, etc. Many North American cinemas might be called, Something Theatre, but should still be tagged as amenity=cinema.
When a venue shows both recorded and live performances, use your judgement to select either cinema or theatre.
