Sensory Friendly Movies
Sensory Friendly shows will be be the first show of the day on select Weekends at our Greenbrier Mall (Chesapeake) location. Films and dates will be announced as the information becomes available. Tickets will go on sale Tue the week of each event; a link will be posted above to those ticketing pages.
What does "Sensory Friendly" mean?
The volume will be lowered and the lights will be kept on a dim-not-dark setting throughout the movie. This becomes safe space where our guests are free to express themselves by singing, crying, dancing, walking around, talking or shouting – whatever they need to do to feel comfortable and enjoy the movie-going experience.
