Captioned Theater is an accessibility service for those who are deaf or who have hearing loss used in a live theater setting. The text of the performance is entered into a computer. The Captioner then previews and the text is edited after to add off stage sounds or to adjust the script from the written script to the actual version that the actors perform. The Captioner then scrolls the scripted dialogue synchronized with the actors on stage as they speak the lines. We will be offering training for both Captioners and Caption Assistants. The role of Captioner requires two and a half days of intense classroom training taking place in February 2019.
Friday, February 1 st 5:30pm - 8:30pm
Saturday, February 2 nd 9:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday, February 3 rd 9:00am - 5:00pm
*Attending all three dates is required
We provide Open Captioning for events at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Shakespeare in Central Park and more.
