You walk past an abandoned building one day when you notice a ticket on the ground. As you pick it up, the front doors fly open, revealing an empty movie theater. 
At first, it seems normal. But then, something happens and you realize . . . it’s magical.
Now imagine that magical theater. 
What does the theater sound like? 
What kinds of films do they show and how are they magical? 
Who makes the movies and how are they made?
What kind of food do they serve there? 
Who is the typical audience?
After imagining that theater, turn it into a story as if you just returned from that theater.
