ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — A movie theater in Ithaca takes steps to make certain moviegoers more comfortable. 

Cinemapolis will have two weekly initiatives going forward, “Masked Tuesdays” and “Captioned Wednesdays.” Every Tuesday, all staff and moviegoers will wear masks for people who feel safest in a masked environment. “Captioned Wednesdays” is useful for people that are hearing impaired or developing fluency in English.

“Masked Tuesdays” begins next week. The initiatives were launched by Kate Donohue, who was named the new executive director of Cinemapolis earlier this month.
