Accessibility Dreams Come True at The Muny

Accessibility is at the core of our work at The Muny, and during the 2024 season, we were thrilled to debut another vital service for patrons: live closed captioning.

Real-time closed captioning services are available at no charge during Monday and Saturday performances, using the free GalaPro smartphone app.

“We’re committed to making the magic of live theatre accessible to everyone in our community,” says Lindsey R. Galanti, director of audience experience at The Muny. “The addition of live captioning services for our patrons with hearing limitations is an important step in ensuring that every guest can fully experience the stories that come to life on our stage.”

Other Muny services that help to eliminate barriers include wheelchair assistance, accessible parking and seating, ASL interpretation, audio description and assistive listening devices.

We’re grateful to our donors for helping to make Muny magic accessible to all. To learn more about the accessibility services we offer at The Muny, visit muny.org/accessibility.
