For families with autistic children

From the Randall Theatre:

"SPECIAL FREE SHOWING OF "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS" FOR FAMILIES WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN - TUESDAY, MAY 12TH AT 7 PM.

This past Sunday, a family with an autistic child felt they had to leave the matinee showing due to a less than patient audience member who just did not understand the needs of the child.

Although they did not have to leave, they felt it was the right thing to do. Once I found out about the situation, I asked the cast and crew if we could do a special show for this family and the response was a resounding "YES" from everyone. Once I spoke to this family, we both agreed that it would be a wonderful opportunity to invite other families with autistic children.

If you know of any families that have a child or children with Autism that might want to come, please have them call the theater to arrange for their free tickets. 541-632-3258."
