For many families, going to see a movie is an entertaining way to spend time together. But for kids and young adults with autism and other disabilities, the traditional movie experience can be pretty overwhelming. The loud sounds and the dark can be pretty overwhelming, and the need to watch the movie in silence can be hard for the kids. For many families with children with autism, going to a movie theater together is simply not an option.
Fortunately, Spotlight Theater has recognized the need to offer sensory-friendly movie viewings. We’ve had some families that book parties with us specifically so their children and their friends can go to the movies in a format that suit them best.
We would like to extend that opportunity to everyone.
So Get Up and Dance, Sing to a Song, Pace the Floor and enjoy the movie as you see fit. The second Saturday of a new PG or PG-13 movie will be a Free To Be Me Movie
While we know what movies are coming out we cannot always control when we get them please check Facebook for updates
Lights will be dimmed and not off, limited trailers, no commercials, and lower volume sound
during the Free To Be Me Movies.
Closed Captioning glasses and cup units available, as well as headphones
