Stagetext provides captions, subtitles and live subtitles, so deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audiences can access the arts. We are a registered charity who works with theatres, galleries, museums, entertainment venues and festivals across the UK, to caption and live subtitling their events and subtitle their videos. We were established in May 2000 by Peter Pullan, Merfyn Williams and Geoff Brown, each of whom had varying types of deafness and a determination to improve access to the performing arts for the 11 million people in the UK who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing. Stagetext is a National Portfolio Organisation of the Arts Council England. ‘What did we do before captioning? We stayed at home' - Caption user ‘Being able to follow a show and know exactly what is being said is fantastic.’ - Caption user www.stagetext.org @Stagetext
