Allows a for-profit Napa County theater with at least 800 seats and primarily live theatrical performances to obtain a special on-sale general license after canceling existing premises licenses. Permits alcohol service in lobbies and seating areas from two hours before through three hours after a performance, exempts license limits and the public-eating-place requirement, and excludes adult or sexually oriented businesses.
