Sensory Friendly Movie Screening of The Grinch (2018)

This is a sensory friendly movie screening event.

The Grinch and his loyal dog, Max, live a solitary existence inside a cave on Mount Crumpet. His main source of aggravation comes during Christmastime when his neighbours in Whoville celebrate the holidays with a bang. When the Whos decide to make Christmas bigger and brighter, the disgruntled Grinch realizes there is one way to gain peace and quiet. With help from Max, the green grump hatches a scheme to pose as Santa Claus, steal Christmas and silence the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all.

Our sensory friendly movie screening is for audience members on the autism spectrum or anyone who might enjoy a more gentle theater experience.

The Warner Theatre is making the following accommodations:

  • Quiet fidgets that can be used during the screening
  • A quiet space in the lobby with activities for those that need a break
  • A social story about the experience of attending a movie
  • A character and plot description print-out
  • House lights kept at 30% during the performance

We welcome audience members to bring their own easy-to-clean (no slime, please) fidgets and quiet sensory tools.
