Open captions are seriously awesome for a bunch of reasons! First off, they're a total game-changer for anyone who's deaf or hard of hearing like me – finally, they can actually follow the whole movie! Plus, it's not just them; people who have trouble processing what they hear can also understand way better with captions.
Think about folks learning English too – captions are a huge help for them to catch everything. And honestly, even if you have perfect hearing, if the theater sound is kinda bad or there's some noisy dude munching popcorn next to you, captions can save the day.
The best part is, they're just there. No need for special glasses or anything, so it's way easier for everyone. Basically, open captions just make going to the movies a better experience for way more people. It just makes sense!
I can’t afford to go to Dimash concerts overseas, plus scared to travel to non speaking English countries by myself. I have been wanting to see him for 3 years. Being able to watch him on the big screen in my own country would be the ultimate dream come true for me

Since the 1980’s I have been going to this theater, in all of its incarnations. From lakeside to Rialto to Summerfield. As a 60 year old, I prefer this theater to all the others in our community. This is our local art house. Not the same old first run movies, but independent films. The last thing we need is another gym. My god, is this what we have become? A society that values corporations over our local citizens. We need art in our lives. It’s right across the street from a park. People don’t need an indoor gym, they have the park. How awful that it has come to this.
I don't get back to Santa Rosa often, but when I do I've known for years now that I can see movies at the Summerfield that will not get to Frenso in a million years! The theater is a treasure that needs to be preserved and nurtured.
