This is so neat to read about. Thanks Ali for sharing about the Sensory Friendly Film Days (at the AMC Lennox for those that are local)!
AMC Entertainment (AMC) and ASA have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program.
In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.
The next showing is Night at the Museum 2 on May 23rd at 10:00 a.m. EST. Lucky for Michael, he does not have a baseball game that day. We just might go check it out (if he doesn't sleep in)!
