Open-Captioned Performances
In October 2005, the Centenary Stage Company (CSC) inaugurated
its second wave of ACCESS services for patrons with disabilities
by offering CSC’s first Open-Captioned Performances of the
plays in the season. Open-Captioned Performance is available the
third Sunday of each Professional Equity
Play in the series.
One of several "Access" services offered by CSC to Americans with disabilities, Open Captioning is
a general term used to describe text displayed simultaneous to live speech, dialogue or performance, and is designed
to assist patrons with hearing loss and disabilities. Also referred to as "OC," it is derived from analogue,
closed captioning, which began as text-based access to broadcast programs. The term "caption" is used
to define text associated with a picture. Open Captioning does not require the user to have any special equipment
for viewing the text and are always "open" to anyone.
Allows you to enjoy a complete luncheon buffet/brunch
followed by a Matinee performance. Available for groups of 20 or
more.
"First
Sundays Talk Back" Program
A symposium offered on the first Sunday performance
of each Centenary Stage Company (professional play) production.
It is open to the public at no charge whether you are attending
that particular Sunday performance or not. A spirited
discussion and exploration of the work and the issues of the play.
Refreshments will be available in the theatre lobby following the
show, where attendees may mingle with the cast and staff. Watch
the home page for updates (bookmark).
We appreciate your visit to our Web site and hope
you will return again and again to get the latest information about
the upcoming events. Please enjoy a free coffee or soda at
