Sensory Friendly Films
Monday, January 25th, 2010
The Autism Society of America and AMC movie theaters have been working together to bring special movie screenings to families of children with autism. First-run movies are shown - usually on the opening weekend - with no advertisements or trailers. Even better, the lights and sound are adjusted to be less overwhelming, attendees are welcome to move around if they wish, and children on special diets are allowed to bring their own snacks. This wonderful monthly event is available locally at the AMC Theatre at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa. Movies are shown at 10 am on the dates given below. Tickets are only $5 for both adults and children! The concession for all the usual movie goodies is open as usual. Keep checking here for updates on the upcoming shows!
UPCOMING MOVIES:
March 20th: Diary of a Wimpy Kid
April 10: Dreamworks’ (the studio that made Shrek, Madagascar, and Kung Fu Panda) “How to Train Your Dragon”
