What if There Was No Sound?

I found this fascinating video over on Sarah's page ( http://speakuplibrarian.blogspot.com/ ) that aptly depicts what deaf and hearing impaired people deal with daily. Have you ever had an experience at the theater like this? See the list below the video for a list of theaters near you that may have accessible choices for you.

Here in the U.S. things are changing in this regard. Some theater chains are being quite thoughtful and inclusive. Here are some examples:
AMC: http://www.amctheatres.com/corporate/accessibility

Regal Entertainment:

    I have not been to the cinema for some time now since knowing there is quiet alot I miss than I think. I sometimes miss cinema because there are not filmed at suitable times for me.

    If I go to a theatre, which is rare, then I go if its a musical. But nothing else.
