Today, I went to a community theatre near my home with a hearing friend who is fluent at ASL. When we went into the theatre, there is no subtitles for the deaf and I tried to enjoy the movie, but my friend asked me if I wanted to leave the theatre and chill with him and a few girls instead. So I decided to hang out, then I felt really angry inside because the community theatre doesn't provide subtitles for the deaf. I am wondering if by ADA, do the community theatres MUST HAVE subtitles for the deaf?
