Shyvonne Allen-Ibitoye has no idea what made her change her mind on Easter and choose a matinee screening of "Shazam!" instead of attending church, but the change in plans for the registered nurse resulted in saving a life.
"I knew my son, who is 17, would really enjoy the movie," Allen-Ibitoye said recently, recalling an Easter at a Lynbrook theater unlike any she has experienced.
In the dark as the antics of a superhero began to unfold on the screen, Allen-Ibitoye heard an all-too-familiar sound emanating from several seats away. Her son heard it, too, and commented that someone was snoring loudly.
