A sensory friendly screening of The Wild Robot is set for Saturday, October 5, at 10 a.m. at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center.

After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose.
The Lindsay, which pioneered sensory friendly screenings northwest of Pittsburgh in 2017, schedules these showings to be the only events in the Theater and provides adequate staffing to create an enjoyable, low stress atmosphere for all attending.
Tickets are available online and at the door. Please email the Theater if you are unable to attend because of ticket costs.
Sensory friendly screenings are specially designed for families who have children with special needs. The films are shown with lights up and volume down, and patrons are free to move around the theater or talk during the screenings. The Lindsay has offered several sensory friendly film showings since its inception; recent screenings include Inside Out 2, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Despicable Me 4.
