#TravFest26 Spotlight - The Singer A bold, new, thrilling piece of gig-theatre about Joe, a deaf artist who “sings” with his hands, and Andy, a washed-up musician hungry for a comeback. A powerful story of music, identity and connection, and the fight for a deaf artist to be truly seen and heard.

Three adults are standing outside Saint Roch’s Secondary School, smiling toward the camera. The school’s large sign is visible on the brick building behind them. Sunlight creates a bright vertical flare across the image, adding a warm, candid feel.

At Solar Bear, accessibility is at the heart of everything we do. 🌟 We caption all our video content—and whenever possible, we go further by including sign language, captions, and voice-over. Plus, our media hubs provide full transcripts for maximum inclusivity.

Bright gradient background with overlapping speech bubbles in yellow, orange, red, and purple. Bold white text reads: “Captioning Awareness Week 2025.” Smaller text says: “10–16 November #CAW2025.” At the bottom, faint pink text reads: “Celebrating 25 Years.”

Only 5 days to go until the premiere of the Solar Reels films at GMAC. We can’t wait to share these powerful stories with you. Over the course of just two weeks, our three filmmakers developed, filmed, and edited their short films from the ground up — an incredible achievement.

A warm, intimate scene set in a cozy café with exposed brick walls and soft string lights. Two people sit across from each other at a small round table, holding hands over a simple centerpiece of white flowers in a glass vase. The image is divided into three vertical panels, creating a triptych effect. At the top, the names “Benedetta Zanetti,” “Bea Webster,” and “Petre Dobre” are displayed. At the bottom, bold text reads “THE UNSPOKEN PATH,” accompanied by production credits and the Solar Bear logo.

Essential reading from The Herald’s theatre critic Neil Cooper on the escalating crisis at Cumbernauld Theatre & why its disappearance from the cultural landscape would be “devastating” given its “rich artistic history.” @cnauldtheatre.bsky.social
