Get ready for a tail-wagging adventure with Dog Man, the half-dog, half-man hero on a mission to catch the sneaky feline villain, Petey the Cat! Don’t miss the special inclusive screening of DOG MAN, created especially for neurodiverse children.
This fun-filled event promises a safe and supportive environment, making it the perfect outing for children with autism. Come join the excitement and enjoy a movie experience like no other!
