Thank you for sharing that. 15 people for a matinee should be encouraging to the theater. I encourage the people who are benefitting from this are telling the public about it.
Those captions are automatically built into those movies, so it's just a matter of turning them on. Of course, if all movies were open captioned those who don't need them would complain. Still, we have a right to accommodations. That's why the devices are available. When you can, do ask to see if they have 'captioning devices' when the captions are not available on screen.
We have rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act but have to ask for accommodations to have them met.
So pleased to know your local theater is providing this service!
