Audio Description

Audio description for individuals who are visually impaired is available for select performances courtesy of Cleveland Sight Center. This service provides an opportunity for guests who are blind or have low vision to listen to a description of the non-verbal aspects of a live performance. A trained audio describer communicates the set design, costumes, facial expressions, body language, and movement of the actors during pauses in the dialogue. Small, closed circuit receivers are used to broadcast this live from the sound booth to an earpiece worn by visually impaired guests; other patrons do not hear this information.
