What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

ARIA Translation Glasses
Augmented Reality for Immersive Accessibility (ARIA) is a language translation tool which is now available at productions in Barrie!
Translations appear in each patron's personal view by using small screens embedded in smart glasses. And if you wear your own glasses, don't fret–they fit overtop.
The play is auto-translated with titles in a wide range of languages. English captions are also available for anyone who is Deaf or hard of hearing, or anyone who would like to use ARIA as a language learning tool.
During the booking process, you will have the option to reserve an ARIA headset at no extra cost. If you have already booked a ticket and would like to reserve an ARIA headset, please email wade@tift.ca. We will do our best to accommodate any walk-ins but can not guarantee availability to patrons who do not book in advance. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact wade@tift.ca.
