A sensory friendly screening of the new John Krasinski film IF is set for Saturday, May 25, at 10:30 a.m. at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. All tickets will be discounted to $8.75 for this special event. IF relates the funny and touching story of a girl who can see people's imaginary friends, and sets out to reunite the "pretend" playmates with the kids who loved them. "Imaginary friends are not just these adorable creations, they are time capsules for our hopes, dreams, ambitions," says Krasinski. "I wanted people to leave this movie believing in something bigger and believing in something beautiful." IF features Ryan Reynolds, Cailey Fleming and a star-studded cast of faces and voices including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Awkwafina, Bradley Cooper and Blake Lively. The Lindsay's sensory friendly screenings are geared to families and individuals who are impacted by autism or other special needs, and enables the entire family to participate in the cinematic experience. No trailers are shown to reduce "sit time," dim house lights remain on throughout the screening and volume is lowered. Doors exiting the screening room remain open, allowing guests to easily walk into the lobby if they wish. The Lindsay, which pioneered sensory friendly screenings northwest of Pittsburgh in 2017, schedules these showings to be the only events in the Theater and provides adequate staffing to create an enjoyable, low stress atmosphere for all attending. Tickets are available online and at the door. [Please email the Theater if you are unable to attend because of ticket costs.] The Theater, a nonprofit organization at 418 Walnut St., Sewickley, has attracted guests from across the tri-state area with sensory friendly screening event options to people living in suburban and rural areas. Parking in a metered municipal lot adjacent to the Theater is the easiest drop-off point for those with mobility challenges. A ramp also provides accessibility from Walnut Street.

Pittsburgh City Paper's "Best Filmmaker" of 2023, Steve Rudzinski, will screen his indie horror sensation, CarousHELL Trilogy, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center's next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase, Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. Rudzinski, of Coraopolis, has garnered numerous awards from the indie horror community, including a Lifetime Achievement Award for directing from Grossfest, a horror convention; Best Feature Film of 2021 at the LA Indie Horror Fest, and the 2023 Fangoria Chainsaw Award. His work is also a hit in Prague, where a theater licensed the first CarousHELL film for six months of theatrical screening, and found fan reaction so positive that it has also licensed parts 2 and 3. Emerging Filmmakers Showcase events, a staple at The Lindsay, were developed to accelerate filmmakers' exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public. Described as "equal parts hilarious, heartwarming and bloody," the CarousHELL Trilogy"the story of a sentient carousel unicorn trying to raise his half-human son"will be screening in its entirety for the first time in the U.S. Rudzinski, a horror fan since seeing Nightmare on Elm Street at age 3, says he hopes to inspire younger creatives who are considering a career in filmmaking. "It really is possible to make movies yourself and get them into the public eye!" Rudzinski serves as writer, director and co-producer of the trilogy. Other regional cast and crew members include co-writer and co-producer Aleen Isley, also of Coraopolis; director of photography and editor Scott Lewis of Mount Oliver; SFX designer Cody Ruch of Emsworth; and South Fayette Township native Rob Steinbock, producer/co-producer of the first film. Total running time is 220 minutes and includes brief intermissions between films. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Rudzinski and others involved in the project. Big Spring Spirits, a community-centric craft distillery based in Bellefonte, Pa., will also be on hand with "CarousHELL-inspired" signature cocktails available for purchase. While the event is free, RSVPs are requested to ensure seating for all. The Lindsay Theater, an independent, film-driven arts nonprofit, is located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.
