AMC Eden Prairie 24 Sponsoring Autism Program
AMC Entertainment, the owners of AMC Eden Prairie 24 movie theater, is partnering with the Autism Society of Minnesota to put on a program for families with Autistic children. On Saturday, May 22, there will be “sensory friendly” showing of Shrek Forever After at 10am at the theater and one at the Roseville AMC theater. According to the Autism Society’s news release “[Autism] often comes with sensory challenges, such as hypersensitivity to light or sound, and children or adults affected by autism may not understand the social boundaries of movie theater etiquette, such as not talking during the film or sitting still through most of the show,” according to a news release.
“In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for children with autism or other special needs, AMC movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing – in other words, AMC’s ‘Silence is Golden’ policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased on the day of the event.”
What a fantastic event and our hats our off to AMC for reaching out and making a difference in Eden Prairie and other places.
