STAGETEXT is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, delivering captioned performances and promoting the use of captioning in cultural venues throughout the UK.
Captioning is a way of converting the spoken word into visible text that provides deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people with access to live performance.
Captioning is about developing new audiences; bringing former audiences back into the theatre and providing a more enjoyable experience for current audiences whether they have a hearing loss or not.
