Every Wednesday, the early matinee screening (go to BrynMawrFilm.org for
exact time) is intended for moms (and dads too!) with small babies in tow.
These Going Gaga screenings feature one of the films that we are currently
showing in the evenings.

We know how difficult it can be for parents with infants to find time
for themselves, so we invite you to bring your baby with you to see our
current films and enjoy some “grown-up time” with other parents.

We will provide you with a baby-friendly movie theater environment:
lights will be dimmed so that you can find your way in and out of the
theater as needed, and the volume level will be turned down so as
not to damage your baby’s more sensitive eardrums. We’ll even
provide you with a changing table in our lobby.

Because this series features our current feature films, which are
geared towards a mature audience, this series is recommended for
parents with children younger than eighteen months.

Ticket prices for the parents are the same as our regular matinee
prices, and go on sale 30 minutes before the show. Babies come free!
We hope that new parents will take advantage of this opportunity to
see the best new movies and connect with other new parents.
