The 2020 schedule of films include:

The Theatre environment will be tailored to the attendees on the Autism Spectrum and their families.  This includes lower levels of sound and theater lights remain on, dietary sensitive offerings in the concession stand including gluten and dairy free options, trained staff and family restrooms.

“We realized that the experience of attending a movie is something that an increasing number of children and adults in our community are not able to participate in, due to sensitivities caused by Autism and other Sensory Processing Disorders, “said Georgia Paxos, Executive Director of the Canton Palace Theatre.  She continued,” We reached out to local partner – Love, Andrew Autism Foundation – to make sure we have addressed many of the issues that prevent families with children or adults on the Spectrum from attending movies.  We look forward to this fourth annual season of Sensory Cinema and continuing to provide entertainment options in the future for all families in our area.”

Autism is the fastest growing and most severe developmental disability in the U.S. today, with the National Health Institute reporting prevalence in one in every 68 births nationwide. Programs, like Sensory Cinema, foster inclusion and acceptance for children with autism and their families.

The Canton Palace Theatre is currently seeking community sponsors for this movie series.  If you are interested in helping fund this program, please email georgia@cantonpalacetheatre.org today!
