Audio Description is a service for individuals who are blind or who have low vision. It provides description of the scenery, costumes and stage movement during a live performance. Audience members who request the service receive the description from a small FM receiver with a single earpiece. The Describer is trained not to speak over the lines of the dialogue or singing, only during verbal pauses. We will be offering training for both Audio Describers and Audio Description Assistants. The Describers provide the live description during the performance, this role requires two and a half days of intense classroom training.
The Assistant assist the Describer in testing the equipment and they interact with the patron. This role requires one four-hour training session, still to be scheduled.
