GalaPro is a revolutionary brand that provides a comprehensive solution for enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in the theater industry. Founded in 2015 by Hagai Pipko and Dr. Elena Litsyn, GalaPro aims to bridge the gap for individuals who use access services such as Closed Captions, Amplification, Audio Description, subtitles, or audio dubbing.

Before GalaPro, deaf audiences were limited to only four captioned Broadway performances per month in New York City. Similarly, audio description performances for blind or low-vision patrons were rare. Recognizing this disservice, the GalaPro team developed an app that has now become the leading provider for in-show services in the theater industry.

GalaPro's app, available on iOS and Android, offers users a comprehensive understanding of their theater experience. It provides closed captioning, language subtitles, audio description, amplification, and dubbing in users' native languages. Moreover, the app offers theaters valuable user data, innovative marketing tools, and a direct connection to their patrons.

GalaPro has made significant strides in the theater industry, with 90% of Broadway theaters and over 30 Broadway touring venues implementing their services. Additionally, GalaPro is expanding to the West End, Europe, and Australia. They are also introducing Smart Glasses compatibility, amplification services, automated film features, and an interface for museums and visitor centers.

In 2022, The Shubert Organization, a long-time supporter of GalaPro, acquired the GalaPro app and properties. This acquisition further solidifies GalaPro's position as a leader in theater accessibility. For more information on GalaPro, you can reach out to them via email at galaproinfo@shubertorg.
