Weekly Open Captions showtimes at the Coolidge

Open Captions are a text display of the words, sounds, and speakers' names in a movie, visible on the screen for everyone to see.

The Coolidge is excited to now offer showtime blocks with Open Captions every single week as part of an ongoing effort to increase accessibility for our audiences, including better accommodating our community members who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing.
