Where "Shhhhh!" isn't allowed!
Family Hope Foundation and Celebration Cinema present a unique movie experience for individuals with special needs and their families. Enjoy a friendly environment where everyone is welcome.
With an audience of your peers, families can enjoy a movie on the big screen! Brighter lights, lower sound, limited previews, open captions, and a group of guests and staff who understand your family's needs will make this outing enjoyable for everyone!
