Access Scottish Theatre “Excellent! Comparison of information on the page is easy to use” Access Scottish Theatre is a pilot and part of the Federation of Scottish Theatre’s Access Project. The project has published 3 Access Scottish Theatre guides and circulated 9 monthly e:bulletins to date. We are now evaluating the pilot and you can take part in this by filling in our online audience survey Click here to take survey. If you would rather go through this survey over the phone please call Mairi Taylor on 0131 248 4842 or email mairi@scottishtheatre.com for a hard copy. The Access Scottish Theatre guide contains useful information about accessible performances and venues across Scotland. We think that it is important that you have all the information you need to make bookings, get to the venue and enjoy yourself when you are there! The full print guide is split in to 3 main sections – at-a-glance; listings of accessible performances: and venues. The listings and venue pages are ordered by city. We have been talking to audiences about their experiences and quotes and suggestions from other audience members are included on the venue pages. You can download plain text and PDF versions of the guide, get in touch to request an audio CD or print copy, visit www.youtube.com/user/BSLscottishtheatre to find information about the guide and theatres in BSL or sign up for our monthly e:bulletin below.
We also list accessible performances here on the FST website. This list often goes beyond the print guide as it is regularly updated: You can visit our You Tube channel here to view videos with BSL: To sign up for monthly e:bulletin please fill in this form:
We want to talk to as many people as we can to ensure that we discover how to best make the guide a useful and sustainable resource for audiences. If you would be interested in undertaking mystery shopper visits or feeding back to us about the guide or your experiences please get in touch.
