Sensory Friendly Showing of Alvin and the Chipmunks - Chipwrecked

This is the last Sensory Friendly Showing of 2011.  Come enjoy the show and tell the cinema 'Thank You'.  This has been the first year children of Southeastern CT with sensory needs have been able to see every new release with sensory accomodations.

This movie showing is also a first as Sensations and Autism Speaks have partnered for the coming year of Sensory Friendly Movies allowing more people to leanr about and experience movies they typically would not attend.
