For movies, the easiest website to use is www.captionfish.com and plug in your zip code. The trailers (coming attractions) on this website are all open captioned - a really excellent resource in its own right! You'll also see that many of the movies are using Rear Window Captioning technology (RW) - please do ask if you'd like more info about that.
The Metropolitan Opera also broadcasts live performances and recorded broadcasts in local movie theaters - including several in New Jersey. These performances have subtitles on the lower portion of the screen and are a fabulous opportunity to see (and hear to the best of one's ability and equipment) the best in opera. Tickets are usually $18. Here's the website - 2010-11 Summer HD Encores and note that on Wednesday, July 14, "La Boheme" will be showing at 6:30 pm in several NJ movie theaters.
Live theater performances are listed on www.c2net.org
You'll see that there's an open captioned live theater performance of "The Wedding Singer" at "Plays in the Park" in Edison (near Menlo Park Mall) on Monday, July 19th at 8:30 pm. Here's the link - Plays In The Park Tickets are $6 ($5 for seniors) - and the box office opens at 5:30 pm the day of the performance. Bring your own chair.
Most NJ theaters begin their seasons in the fall - so watch for the upcoming schedule of captioned performances on the c2 website.
Many captioned live theater performances in NYC are arranged by the Theatre Development Fund. Register at their website - www.tdf.org (click on "Accessibility Solutions) - to receive their captioned offerings. Tickets usually have to be ordered in advance.
