(1765)

Employees of the Theater are known as Prospects, and we are encouraged to sparkle, shine, and transform our passions into professions. Approximately 75% of our workforce self-identifies with a disability, and we are committed to competitive and inclusive employment. Prospects use education, engagement, and employment to showcase their incredible talents, adding extraordinary value and sparkle to o

ur business. Prospects are involved at every level of the Prospector's mission – selling tickets, popping popcorn, filming, hosting events, editing, programming, landscaping, service learning, marketing, information technology, strategic planning, graphic design, game design, writing grants, baking, costume-making, and so much more! Almost 85% of Americans with disabilities don't have a job. The Prospector Theater was built as a solution to this problem. Meaningful employment is vital to a person’s mental, social, financial, and emotional health. The Prospector is open every day of the year, improving the quality of life for hundreds of adults with disabilities, their families, and the community at large. Through the operation of our movie theater, Prospects are paired with jobs that highlight their strengths and passions - or as we call it, “sparkle”. Each new release generates dozens of opportunities to use our sparkle as we transform ordinary moviegoing into memorable experiences. We offer products that people want – good movies, fresh popcorn, entertaining pre-show content, clean facilities, and unparalleled customer service! When you see movies with us, you create the thousands of business operations and interactions that fuel the Prospector's mission of meaningful employment for adults with disabilities!

Inside you are given a full tour of KultureCity's Sensory Bag and all the tools within. You are given an in depth rundown of the feelings temperature card displaying different color coded feelings. After you put on a pair of headphones. Then you find yourself in a lit theater, take a seat looking at a screen playing a movie with captions on the screen, before you leave the theater to ask another usher using the Visual Que Card for the Quiet Area.
