The call it Sensory Friendly Films. The light in the theatre will remain turned up and the volume of the film will be lowered. Families are encouraged to bring in their own snacks and viewers are welcome to move around the theatre, sing, dance or speak if they wish.
Tickets are $4-6 and can be purchased by calling a local, participating theatre the day of the showing.
