Audio Described PerformanceAudio Described Performances are offered on selected dates throughout the season. These performances are designed to enhance the experience for patrons who are blind or have low vision. A live audio describer gives details of costumes, sets and key on-stage action. Delivered via headset, the description supplements the spoken dialogue without interfering with it.

ASL American Sign Language PerformanceAmerican Sign Language interpretation will be available for our deaf or deafened patrons on selected dates, as marked on the calendar.

Additional audio described and/or ASL interpreted dates may be available to groups of 10 or more for performances after July 1. Contact [email protected].

Relaxed PerformancesRelaxed performances are specifically designed to welcome patrons who will benefit from a less restricted audience environment, including patrons with intellectual or learning disabilities and/or sensory processing conditions such as autism. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the auditorium, and some minor production changes may be made to reduce the intensity of light, sound and other startling effects.
