Emagine

Come join us for the Sensory Friendly program at Emagine. This sensory friendly special program makes going to the movies a more enjoyable and accessible experience for those with sensory needs. What does this mean? First, it means sensory friendly (lights up a bit, sound down a bit). Second, audience interaction (movement, speaking, singing) and electronic device (phone, tablet, etc.) usage are allowed. Third, guests are welcome to bring a safe snack for any food allergies or food avoidance/restrictions.

Looking for Earth Elsewhere on Tue. Oct. 18 at 7pm. We have found more than 5,000 planets around other stars in the past 26 years. Some have similarities to our own home planet- and some are just plain weird. Join us for an overview of the search for distant planets, what we've found so far- including some really strange ones!- and how the new James Webb Space Telescope will play a part in advancing our knowledge of planets and the possibilities for life in the Universe.
