Complete JSON definition

1 Scope

The Theatre Schema describes a theatre. It covers identity, incorporation details, contact, and location, including the address and coordinates. It also covers opening hours, images, reputation, a price indication, the programme and other services, amenities, and theatre details. A performance or a service is included only when the theatre states that it offers it. Reputation figures come from one provider and are not combined into a single rating. A missing value stays unknown. The price indication is a level, not a ticket price. Advance booking is recorded only as whether booking ahead is recommended.
