"I recently took my Grandchildren to the theater in NY. For the first time in ten years I was able to enjoy the show due to your closed captioning. Thank you so much for this easy to use app.!"

"As a severely hard of hearing person, I was so leased to find the GalaPro app available for Hamilton. On the whole the app worked exactly as intended...Without the captions I would have missed so, SO much of this play. Thank you for such a wonderful service. I hope to see the app available in Sacramento, Ca for the Broadway Series and Music Circus Series.

"THIS IS SO GREAT!!!
As a hearing impaired person, I always feel like an “other” at performances. I miss 20-30% usually when everyone else is laughing I’m not. I GOT 99%!!!
Thank you!!"

"I wanted to share with you two wonderful theater experiences I had thanks to GalaPro. Recently, I saw “Apologia” and “The Ferryman”. In both instances, I used the audio description. At the end of the first act of “Apologia”, the son comes into the house with a bandana wrapped around his hand. Since the stage lighting was dark, my friend didn’t know that. I was able to share that information with her. At “The Ferryman”... there are many characters and I would have totally lost without GalaPro... Thanks again for providing this program. I am an avid theater goer and this has made the theater experience so much more enjoyable. I have shared information about GalaPro with others."

"I used this last night at the Fox theater in Atlanta for Come From Away. I thought it helped me immensely to understand the performers. I am also a volunteer at the Fox and was told about this on Wednesday evening while working. I have told several people about this as I think it could help many. Thank you."
