STAGETEXT Captioned Performances

Captioning converts the spoken word into text, giving people with hearing loss access to live performance. In captioning, the words appear on a screen at the same time as they are sung or spoken. Captions also include sound effects and offstage noises. For more information visit stagetext.org.

We have one captioned performance for each of our Theatre productions. Details of the dates for each production can be found on individual event pages under What's On & Tickets, by using the What's On Calendar on the homepage, using the dropdown calendar below, or by contacting the Box Office 0161 833 9833 / This email address is being protected from spambots.

Infra-red hearing enhancement

An infra-red hearing enhancement system operates in both of our auditoria. The audio enhancement is available through a receiver for use in conjunction with a hearing aid or, alternatively, an in-the-ear headset. These need to be booked via Box Office - 0161 833 9833 / This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Should you need any assistance with the equipment, please contact one of our front-of-house staff.

Hearing dogs

Hearing dogs are welcome within the building. If you wish to attend a performance, a member of staff can care for your dog. Alternatively, depending upon the production, it may be possible for you to take your dog into the performance – please ask the Box Office for further information when booking your ticket.
