full houses

Theaters without vacancies

Full houses is the plural of full house, a poker hand containing three cards of one rank and two of another—three kings and two fives, for instance.

The term extends to any venue filled to capacity: The band played to full houses all summer.

A full house in bingo means all spaces on a card have been marked.
