But that\u2019s fine at Carolina Theatre\u2019s Sensory Friendly Film Series. In fact, guests are encouraged to get out of their seats and move around. The movies are delightfully void of traditional rules and norms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sure, the 98-year-old theater still has the nostalgic symphony of sights, sounds, and smells: fizzy sodas and piles of molten, buttery popcorn, marquee lights and velvet carpeting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11359\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11359\" src=\"https:\/\/9thstreetjournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Theater-sign-300x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9thstreetjournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Theater-sign-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/9thstreetjournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Theater-sign-768x727.jpg 768w, https:\/\/9thstreetjournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Theater-sign.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sensory Friendly series gives children extra space and a more comfortable environment to watch a film. Photo by Gabrielle Lazor &#8211; The 9th Street Journal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at the Sensory Friendly Film Series, the organizers create an inclusive environment for autistic individuals and others in need of sensory accommodations. The series, a collaboration of the theater and the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, shows a movie once a month in a less overwhelming atmosphere. An advisory board consisting of professionals, parents, and individuals with autism reviewed and agreed on the lineup of movies for the current season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests can expect the sound to be lowered and the lights to be a little brighter. Concessions are available for purchase, but families are also welcome to bring their own drinks and snacks. The theater\u2019s capacity is capped at 70 percent to give guests the chance to spread out \u2014 and racing through the aisles is welcomed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The center provides lots of gizmos for guests to fidget with since sensory toys can be useful for relieving stress or helping kids focus. There are also headphones, dry erase boards and markers, coloring books, temporary tattoos and Dum-Dums lollipops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the lobby, 11-year-old Nicolas Krnavek latches onto a lime green rubber slug. The series invites anyone who wants to avoid a sensory overload, not just those on the spectrum. Nicolas\u2019s mom, Laura noticed \u201cthat his emotions are always on high,\u201d so it\u2019s helpful for him to have something squishy in his hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI love it,\u201d Laura says of the event. \u201cThey just sometimes need something because the world is big, and it\u2019s a lot coming at them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She grabs the rubbery green slug. \u201cSomething as silly as this for us \u2014 for them, it\u2019s like \u2018yes, I understand the world now. This is safe.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inside the cinema, seats are a suggestion. Kids hang off a metal railing. Others race up and down the stairs. Someone pulls on a plastic fidget tube, the satisfying clicks reverberating inside the vast auditorium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The films are free, shown on a Saturday at 11:30 a.m. The January movie was \u201cHook,\u201d a fantasy adventure about an adult Peter Pan who returns to Neverland. Robin Williams\u2019 face consumes the screen as children fiddle with their toys on the stairs. Yet, there\u2019s not an irritated \u201cSHHH!\u201d to be heard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For families who have kids with autism, getting out of the house can sometimes seem daunting. \u201cIt\u2019s really good for communities to have\u2026 a place where there isn\u2019t going to be any judgment if the child is overstimulated. There\u2019s a break area if that happens,\u201d says Jordan Grapel, a research interventionist at the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another theater serves as a quiet area if attendees need more peace. Next to the windows, a pile of cushy bean bags provides refuge, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The wide range of resources testifies that \u201cif you\u2019ve met one person with autism, you\u2019ve met one person with autism,\u201d says Grapel, quoting one of his favorite insights. \u201cWe try to make it an environment where everybody feels comfortable,\u201d says Shana Adams, the senior director of education and community engagement at the theater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After two hours and 15 minutes of being transported to Neverland to watch the grown-up Peter Pan rescue his children from the notorious Captain Hook, everyone\u2019s eyes adjust as they reenter the lobby. A handful of children bury themselves in the mountain of bean bags, the foam filling swallowing their small bodies, escaping the chaos one last time before they leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo at top: At the Sensory Friendly Film Series, it&#8217;s fine if kids climb on stage to get a close view.
