Subtitles at a movie theater

A couple years ago a deaf friend notified me of an open captioned movie that was to be shown at a local theater. I went to see it and was able to follow the movie better than I expected. Afterwards I went with a group of Deaf folks socializing and had a great time. I’m not a fluent signer but the Deaf group was very considerate and patient with me. Overall a great experience.

For anyone living in the Philadelphia area, HLAA Chester County PA sends out a weekly list of all theaters that are showing open captioned movies the upcoming week. Our member Judy Shugarts started by calling several local theaters and asked to get a weekly email from them to put into the email. It has expanded little by little and includes at least 10 that I know of. Large chains like AMC as well as small theaters.
