In collaboration with the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University and The National Theatre of Great Britain, we are the first theatre in the United States to offer Smart Caption Glasses (SCG) to our audience.

What you should know...

• Glasses can be added to your ticket purchase at no extra cost, or you can reserve a pair by calling or emailing the Box Office at 610.644.3500 or tickets@peopleslight.org.
• Glasses are usually available during the last 2 weeks of performances for each production.
• People's Light first piloted Smart Caption Glasses in October 2019. The revolutionary technology displays a synchronized transcript of the play’s dialogue and sound directly onto the lenses.
• The text display is customizable. You can adjust placement, color, size, and how the text scrolls.
• The glasses frames can fit directly over most prescription eyeglasses.
• In addition to Smart Caption Glasses, we offer other accommodations, including assistive listening devices and T-Coil induction loops. We will also continue to offer open captioning and ASL interpretation at select performances.
• Patrons using SCG should arrive at the theatre at least 30 minutes early to get familiar with the technology, or contact the Box Office to arrange a separate time for a tutorial.

Smart Caption Glasses at People’s Light are made possible in part by The Connelly Foundation and the Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation.
