“What a difference it made!....before captioning, a trip to the theatre was impossible. Now it can be an entertaining and enjoyable experience and another way to help me cope with my hearing loss”

What is Captioning?
Captioning is a mechanism that converts the spoken word into text, providing people with hearing loss improved access to live performance. In a captioned performance, the words appear on a screen at the same time as they are spoken or sung. Captions also include sound effects and offstage noises. A captioned performance involves installing one or two display units on or around the stage.
The Federation of Scottish Theatre has recently assumed responsibility for co-ordinating captioned performances across Scotland, previously managed by STAGETEXT www.stagetext.org
FST aims to develop deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audiences across Scotland through the promotion of captioned performances.
If you are interested in presenting a captioned performance please contact Kirsty Bichan at FST on 0131 220 6393 or kirsty.bichan@scottishtheatre.org.
FST will also support theatres presenting captioned performances in developing their audiences, for more information on this service please contact Ruth Ogston, Audience Development Consultant on 0131 220 6393 or ruth@scottishtheate.org
