Open Captioning at "Amadeus"

I know it is "old news" as the RTD announced it on Sunday the 9th, but I still think it is cool - University of Richmond Players will have Open Captioning for their matinee performance of Amadeus on Saturday, 4/22, at 2pm. I hope the word gets out and some people who may not normally attend theatre in the Richmond area have a chance to experience this amazing performance space. I've seen the show, the technical elements are top notch, Michael Goodwin and "J.L. Fulcher" are truly playing at their best, and the students are quite good, too. If you have never experienced an Open Caption show, I recommend trying to get out and support this production. Maybe if more people attend, we can all benefit in the long run by finding funding so every theatre in town can have at least one Open Caption performance per run.

Wouldn't it be great to expand theatre audiences in a whole new direction?
