ShowTrans is a multicultural service designed to make Broadway and the live arts more accessible to non-English speaking audiences. The cornerstone of our service is the ShowTrans listening device.

The ShowTrans listening device is a state-of-the-art customer service that provides multilingual scene-by-scene commentary of a theatrical production for the non-English speaking audience.  ShowTrans is not a word-for-word translation of the show.  The system gives the patron plot information in their native language that enables them to follow the action of the show. Now, even non-English speaking audiences can experience the thrill of Broadway.
