Dear Lew: Todays captioned performance of 12 Angry Men at The Broward Center for Performing Arts was amazing. The show was great and the actors were wonderful. However, I was stunned. by the captioning. Because I had a favorable seat and there was no background music, I was able to hear a lot more of the dialog than I usually do. In spite of that advantage, I still had to rely heavily on the captioning. The words came fast and furious from the stage and the captioning was right on cue - perfect timing. My ears heard some words and my eyes heard the rest. Every word appeared on screen exactly as it was pronounced by the actor. I drove all the way home with a smile on my face. I am still smiling. The actors take a bow after the final act. They are applauded for their performance. I think the captioner should be recognized for his performance. Take a bow Lew. I am applauding you. Thank you once again for permitting me to enjoy live theater. With love, Charlotte N. Roth
