Your scissors stairs seem to work, but what happens in the area surrounding them on the 2nd and third floors? The area on the 2nd floor is very strange - maybe this could be a mechanical room or bathrooms? On the third floor it could be a space for the theater, - how they get to the projector booth? On the 2nd floor, could the long curved wall break to allow an opening to the stairs/elevator? or do you want to keep this hidden and force the user to use the ramp or curved stair?
Jill is right, the stair is a bit cumbersome in its presence on the second and third floor. If it is truly an egress only stair, then you can definitely make it work with the form of your building and not necessarily use the "graphic standards" template.
I also question the overall circulation strategy. i am not reading a path, neither explicit nor implied. Although it does not need to be overly structured, it mus be "evident" especially when looking in plan. Take a look ad the Dada concept of the "Derive." and the french notion of parcours. these are approaches that can be applied to circulation which are not so regimented.
