SEWICKLEY – The Lindsay Theater continues screening the global blockbuster “Super Mario Galaxy” movie this week, including a sensory friendly screening this Saturday at 10 a.m.

All tickets for that more mellow “Mario” are discounted to $8.75. The Lindsay has been programming sensory friendly screenings since 2017 and usually offers one with every family-friendly film in its lineup.

Josh Axelrod, communications director for Sewickley’s independent theater, explained how sensory friendly screenings work, when interviewed Wednesday on the Beaver County Radio Morning Show with Scott Tady.

Axelrod also discussed other Lindsay offerings this week, including:

“The Drama” starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a couple whose impending marriage is complicated following a shocking revelation. Director Kristoffer Borgli’s dramedy is “one of the boldest, brashest movies in some time,” declares USA Today. “Both leads turn in strong performances” in a film that’s “armed with complex characters and a brazen resolve.”

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie sends Mario, Peach and their friends to space as they explore new pockets of the Nintendo-verse. “The animation is remarkably beautiful, the world and characters both true to the 8-bit source material and deeply cinematic,” raves Tribune News Service. “There are lots of references … but it’s still fun even if you’re not a Nintendo die-hard.”

The Women in Film & Media Showcase taking place at 7 p.m. Thursday, featuring 13 shorts either directed or produced by women filmmakers. Tickets are free and going quickly, so the theater recommends RSVPing in advance due to space limitations.
