In order to maintain a case against the theater you will have to show that the theater either created, or allowed to exist, a condition that caused your fall. Trip and Fall cases are very fact specific, usually requiring a picture of the scene for an attorney to properly evaluate. If the conditions where dangerous than the theater may be held liable. As far as what to expect, compensation for pain and suffering will depend on many factors including length of treatment, final diagnosis of premanency etc. Probably best to consult an attorney in your area.
