Celebrating Deaf Awareness Week ✨🎭

At TTG, we believe the magic of theatre should be accessible to everyone - on stage, backstage, and in the audience.

Inspired by organisations like , and the incredible work of .insta, who champion captioned performances for Deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing audiences - we recognise the importance of creating inclusive and welcoming experiences for all. With only a small proportion of live performances currently captioned, there’s still more to be done.

But together, we can help build an industry where Deaf and hard-of-hearing theatre professionals and audiences feel fully supported. Let’s keep pushing for a more accessible future 💛

The funds raised at these events help us support theatre professionals in need. Without the generosity of the theatrical community, audiences and the public, couldn’t continue the vital work of its 14-member charities, including The Theatrical Guild.

We can’t wait to see you there!
