ACCESS TO MUSICAL THEATRE PROJECT

Motion Text

That this House applauds the work of the young people from the London boroughs of Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth and Guildford involved in the V-funded Access to Musical Theatre project and the Mayhem Musical Theatre Company who are working together to help people with an hearing impairment access and enjoy musical theatre by providing a British Sign Language interpreter for a performance of Seussical the Musical; commends their actions in making this musical one of those very rare occasions when people with an hearing impairment will be able to enjoy a performance to the full; and calls on the Government, local councils and businesses to make more public events accessible by British Sign Language interpreters.
