Typically our previews run ten minutes. For Kid's Flix and School's Out Cinema films it is three to four minutes. For Fathom Events and Sensory showings there will be no previews and the films will start at exactly the posted start time.

The Lyric Theater does not provide content advisories for the films we exhibit. Audiences are encouraged to research films in advance if they have concerns about subject matter or suitability. The screening of any film at the Lyric does not constitute an endorsement, nor does it reflect, the views or opinions of the Lyric Theater or its staff.

Information about the content or age appropriateness of specific films can be found on Common Sense Media, IMDb, Does the Dog Die?, and Kids in Mind.

Our Sensory Friendly experiences create a gentler, more flexible environment for guests who may benefit from reduced sensory stimulation.

During these screenings:

• Lights are dimmed but not fully off
• Sound is lowered
• Open captions are shown on screen when available
• Guests have the freedom to stim (move, vocalize, or express themselves as needed)
• Special dietary snacks are permitted

These screenings are designed to reduce anxiety and create a space where guests can fully enjoy the film without pressure to remain quiet or still.

Our Relaxed experiences offer a more traditional theater setting while maintaining a welcoming environment for guests with sensory needs.

During these screenings:

• Lights are fully down
• Sound is at a regular theater level
• Open captions appear on screen when available
• Guests have the freedom to stim (move and vocalize)
• Special dietary snacks are permitted

Relaxed screenings allow guests to experience the full cinematic atmosphere while still feeling comfortable expressing themselves.

The Lyric Theater is proud to be KultureCity Sensory Inclusive™ Certified, helping us provide an accommodating and positive experience for all guests with sensory needs.

According to the latest U.S. Census data, one in six people live with a sensory need or invisible disability, such as autism, dementia, PTSD, hearing loss, or vision loss. Individuals with invisible disabilities often experience the world differently and may become overwhelmed by sensory input more easily than neurotypical individuals.

To better serve our community, The Lyric Theater partnered with KultureCity to implement tools, training, and resources that support guests with sensory processing needs.

To help create a comfortable environment for everyone, The Lyric provides:

• Sensory bags available for free checkout on the day of your visit
• Noise-reducing headphones and fidget tools to help lessen sensory overload
• Clear signage throughout the theater identifying quiet and louder areas
• Staff training on how to respectfully assist guests with invisible disabilities

Sensory bags are designed for both adults and children and can make a vital difference during moments of sensory overload.

Additional accommodations are available for guests with hearing or visual needs, including:

• Assistive listening headphones for enhanced audio
• Descriptive narration for visually impaired guests
• Personal caption devices
• Open Captions on all movies every Sunday (when available)

At The Lyric Theater, we are proud to be trained and trusted advocates for accessibility and inclusion, ensuring every guest can relax, feel supported, and enjoy the show.
