The Ashland Theatre is excited to partner with the Autism Society of Central Virginia to offer a Sensory-Friendly movie showing! Please join us on Saturday, April 11th at 3PM for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie!
This sensory friendly program aims to make visiting the movie theatre a more enjoyable and overall more accommodating experience for children, teenagers and families with sensory needs.
For this event staff will turn the house lights up and turn the volume down. The number of tickets is limited as well so that some seats will be left open. This will make it more accessible for guests who may want to stand up, move around, step out, use electronic devices, or chat.
Please note that Sensory Friendly Showings will begin immediately at the scheduled showtime! There will be no trailers before the movie, so please be sure to arrive on time to avoid missing any of the film! Captions will be on screen!
Super Mario Galaxy follows Mario as he traverses outer space to rescue Princess Peach, whose castle was lifted into space by Bowser. After being knocked to a distant planet, Mario teams up with Rosalina and her Lumas to reclaim stolen Power Stars, restore the Comet Observatory, and defeat Bowser at the center of the universe.
