Access Project

Following on from our successful Access Pilot Project, the Federation of Scottish Theatre currently coordinates captioning in Scotland and continues to produce Access Scottish Theatre. Access Scottish Theatre takes the form of two yearly print editions, a monthly e:bulletin and an up to date online listing of accessible performances.

You can find the up to date online listings, download the current edition of Access Scottish Theatre and sign up for the e:bulletin here.

FST continues to coordinate captioning in Scotland which supports its members to reach Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audiences. We co-ordinate captioned performances in Scotland by providing captioning equipment to venues and touring companies at no hire charge. A freelance Captioner is then employed to provide a captioning service. For further information about captioning, booking equipment and hiring a Captioner please contact Kirsty Bailey or view information in the Access Resource Centre in the members' section of the website.

You can find out more about the Access Pilot Project which took place from September 2008 to April 2010 and also access useful resources for venues and companies here.

The Access Scottish Theatre guide is currently produced by flip - Disability Equality in the Arts.

The Access Scottish Theatre guide and the captioning service are funded by Creative Scotland.
