    As for our policy on outside food and drinks, we’d like to avoid anything that will impact the viewing experience for other guests — strong smells, loud sounds, and so on — but reusable water bottles or coffee from Akron Coffee Roasters next door are acceptable.

    We’ll also make an exception for individuals with conditions like a food allergy.

  • Yes! The Nightlight has caption-reading devices compatible with most movies, as well as headphones that stream the movie’s audio. We also try to have open-caption screenings for the first showtimes on weekend days when captions are available.

    Additionally, the cinema has a separate entrance leading directly to the front of the theater, where there is space for wheelchairs.
