“Even for the hearing the open captioning helped catch words that I may not have heard clearly.”
— Patron at EJ Thomas Hall, Akron, OH
(TDF partner 2010 - 2012)

“This was excellent! I had trouble with the ALD in the first half and wouldn’t have been able to follow at all without the captioning. The captioning made it easy to follow and extremely enjoyable. I bought an OC subscription. I can’t wait until November!”
— Patron at Trinity Repertory Theatre, Providence, RI
(TDF partner 2009 - 2011)
