Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts
University of North Carolina - Charlotte
" UNC Charlotte is committed to having an accessible campus for individuals with disabilities. This season, closed captioning will be available for our Department of Theatre mainstage productions, powered by CCTheater, from AccessTech, LLC."
We asked Liz Paradis, Director of Audience Services for the Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts at UNC Charlotte, about why she chose CCTheater and how it serves her educational mission as well as the venue's accessibility needs.
"We were trying to make captioning available for every (Department of Theatre) performance so that it was an option for all, at all times. I chose CCTheater for its ability to be completely self-sustaining. I appreciate that the input matches the output— meaning that there are no limitations to how often we can provide these services if we put in the effort. Having autonomy around building the captioning scripts is also a big plus!
Working at a University, there is a huge pedagogical element, not just with operating the software, but with students observing the process during tech and seeing the final result integrated into a performance. Having just used CCTheater to caption a musical in the spring, the options to add musical notes or include multiple lines on one screen proved to be very useful.

A silver lining for me personally has been how much more connected I feel to the work we're doing (and to the students who are doing it) and how much that enhances my ability to speak to our audiences about the productions.
I would highly recommend CCTheater!"
