I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!
I think it's just a fancy way of saying passes. Your church should let you know which theater you can use them at (or it might say on the passes themselves). Once there, i think you can just go to guest services to redeem them

In my state, you can get an ID as soon as you're 14. However, it's pretty easy to spot a child from a teen but not so much a teen from an adult. I'm actually not too sure on what the policy is on pg13 (or whatever age) is.

Don't recommended if you've been coddled all your life. We don't tolerate that lol.
Since you're 16, you can't close (lucky) so the latest you'll get out is like 9:30 and you can't operate machinery.
Concessions, where I work, I feel have the greatest variety of people, but most wish they worked somewhere else.
QSR (quick servie restaurant), where they serve burgers and fries, is easier and required cooking.
Cashiers, I think have the easiest job but you might have to worh customer service too. And people will be stupid!
Ushers just clean and it's what qsr & concessionist want to be. Grass is greener I guess. You will have to clean up vomit! And what people leave behind in theaters and it can get weird.
I think following twitter accounts like @Movie_Probz (my fav) will give you a good sense of what eployee life is like. Also, you might see the occasional celeb at work!
All in all, there isn't going to be an easy 1st job and it won't be as glamorous as you think, no matter what you apply for. Just work hard and be nice to everybody. Your coworkers can be some of your best friends and make work better :)

1) Lady stabs herself in the bathroom for no apparent reason.
2) Lady was drunk and indoors but thought she was trapped outside or something. Grabs a velvet rope post (those things weight A LOT) and smashes a glass door with it. then she pees herself
3) Man in the crowd spots my black coworker, follows him, spits on him and calls him the N-word. This is a random stranger. Lose faith in humanity
4) Whatever sex scandal is happening at work recently

good question
it's a misdemenor so it's a $2,500 fine, i think
but the difference between booze and a movie is that your parents can't buy you alcohol and everyone is cool with it. but anyone over 18 can buy you that ticket so long as they stay with you

There are a few reasons why that wont work:
1) Ushers only have a few minutes to clean the whole theater. They cant do that if you're still in there. I doubt the both of you would be comfortable making out while the ushers are watching, waiting for you to get out anyway.
2) As soon as they're done, the next showing can be seated. Again, you're getting in the way of that. Patrons will complain.
3) There's more than one usher. Are you willing to pay them all off?
4) Most importantly, kicking people out is the best part of the job. They're not going to take that bribe.
