“Monsters University,” the No. 1 box-office hit prequel to “Monsters Inc.,” will further entertain as Kansas City’s first open captioned drive-in movie event at 8 p.m. July 11 at the Boulevard Drive-In Theatre, 1051 Merriam Lane, Kansas City, Kan.

Admission is $10 for adults and free to ages 11 and younger. All proceeds will benefit nonprofit co-presenters The Whole Person, dedicated to people with disabilities leading independent lives in Kansas and Missouri, and CinemaKC, which supports filmmakers in Missouri and Kansas.
