"EPIC" Movie - Special showing for Children with Special Needs & their Families

Del Monte Center invites children with special needs and their families to a special senory showing of "EPIC," rated PG. In "EPIC," a teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours. This special "early bird" Saturday morning show will have lower than normal sound levels, higher than normal lighting levels, no trailers/previews and no repercussions for disruptive behavior. The cost is $6.50 per ticket. Concessions will be available for sale, as well. For more information, contact Jeremiah Leach at jleach@cinemark.com or call (831) 373-8051.
