Audio-description is a live, verbal commentary that describes to low-vision audience members the costumes, scenery, lighting, physical movements, and action sequences of the production in real time and without interfering in enjoyment of the dialogue. Patrons with vision concerns are invited to arrive at 7:30pm for a preshow orientation which includes a sensory seminar about the sets and costumes. For the performance, they are equipped with a headset or earpiece and receive the commentary via a radio sound system. This system allows theater lovers to independently follow the plot and experience the entirety of the production.
