GalaPro is a leading brand that offers a comprehensive solution for theater accessibility. Founded in 2015 by Hagai Pipko and Dr. Elena Litsyn, GalaPro aims to bridge the gap for individuals who rely on access services such as Closed Captions, Amplification, Audio Description, and dubbing.

Before GalaPro, deaf audiences in New York City had limited access to captioned Broadway performances, and audio description performances for blind or low-vision patrons were even rarer. Recognizing this as a disservice to these communities, the GalaPro team developed an app that has since become the leading provider of in-show services in the theater industry. GalaPro has been implemented in 90% of Broadway theaters in New York and has partnered with over 30 Broadway touring venues.

The brand also offers its services in over 20 regional markets across North America. The GalaPro app, available on iOS and Android, provides users with closed captioning, language subtitles, audio description, amplification, and dubbing in their native language. In addition to enhancing the theater experience for audiences, GalaPro provides venues with new user data, cutting-edge marketing tools, and a direct connection to their patrons.

The brand is continuously expanding its reach to the West End, Europe, and Australia, while also introducing Smart Glasses compatibility, amplification services, automated film features, and an innovative interface for museums, visitor centers, and exhibitions. In 2022, GalaPro was acquired by The Shubert Organization, a longtime supporter of the brand. For more information, interested individuals can reach out to galaiproinfo@shubertorg.
