What are Relaxed Screenings?
Relaxed Screenings are intended to create a welcoming, inclusive cinema experience for all audiences, including those who may benefit from a more flexible and sensory-friendly environment. House lights will be turned up, volume levels will be lowered, and open-captioned subtitles will be displayed on screen. Patrons are welcome to get up, vocalize, stretch, and/or move around during the film. Sensory kits can be checked out at concessions and will include noise-cancelling headphones, fidgets/handheld manipulatives, and sensory stress toys.
