Sensory Friendly Screenings
A dark theater, a still and quiet audience, and a movie with the volume turned up —
that may sound like a perfect environment to take in a film, but it isn’t for everyone.
Our monthly Sensory Friendly Screening series provides opportunities to watch films with the lights on and the sound turned down — and if you feel inspired to get up, make noise, and move about the theater, we welcome you to do so!
Sponsored by the Doreen D. Marshall Fund for Youth, in partnership with Orange County Community Foundation.
