A month ago when Bill Warren scheduled a "sensory friendly presentation" at one of his Wichita theaters, he received thanks from numerous parents and teachers. 

"Once we realized there was such an issue with autistic children in Wichita, we've now expanded it to Oklahoma City," said Warren.  Warren held a news conference in Oklahoma City Wednesday. 

"The lights (in the theater) are up higher. The sound is lower and it's designed for those children. If they want to dance or express themselves, they can."

The Saturday morning presentation of "Rise of the Guardians" at the west Warren in Wichita will be sensory sensitive.  Tickets to the movie will only be available at the box office.  The theater will open at 10:15 a.m. with the movie starting at 11.  The theater is located at 21st and Tyler Road.
