    Stagetext

    Stagetext increases access to the arts for people with a hearing loss by promoting the use of captioning systems that display the text as it is sung or spoken, enabling people with a hearing loss to follow dialogue on an equal basis with their hearing peers. Our funding supports core costs.

    A Play in the Life of a Captioner - STAGETEXT

    Captioning in theatres offers one in seven people who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing access to plays and performances. Here, captioner Alex Romeo tells us all about the work that goes into captioning one show. From receiving the script to the final performance, and all the work that goes into giving deaf people the same access as their hearing counterparts. Hundreds of plays are captioned each year, giving access to audiences with a hearing loss. For more information about STAGETEXT and upcoming captioned shows, just go to http://stagetext.org You can follow STAGETEXT on Twitter: @STAGETEXT You might also be interested in joining one of the new social groups STAGETEXT is setting up to encourage deaf Londoners to attend plays together.
