Not sure what your controller code looks like, but there is always the
:include parameter.
From the docs:
:include: Names associations that should be loaded alongside using LEFT
OUTER JOINs. The symbols named refer to already defined associations.
See eager loading under Associations.
Person.find(:all, :include => [ :account, :friends ])
In your example:
Theatre.find(:all, :include => [:status], :conditions => ["your query
stuff goes here"])

Let me clarify.
While Nathan's solution would work great for searching on a particular
status (all "closed" theaters, for instance), I just need to get back
the status for _each_ theater in a basic query search.
/search?query=apollo
When I use <%= theater.status.name %> in my for loop, I get a nil
object error. So, I'm guessing I need to find a way to preload the
status name for each theater object in my result set.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yea, this sounds like a step in the
right direction.

Probably, Yeah. Try passing it with your pagination_links method.
If i remember from Friday:
pagination_links(@results, {:query => params[:query], :status =>
params[:status]})
might get you some links like:
/search?query=apollo&status=1
where 1 is "open" or whatever.
Good luck.
