Audio description
An Audio Description service to enhance the experience of customers who are blind or have a vision-impairment is offered in the Drama Theatre. In collaboration with Sydney Theatre Company, and with the assistance of Vision Australia, this service is complimentary.
Audio description is a live commentary of the visual elements of a performance, by trained audio describers. Touch-tours before the production help to capture the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action before and during the course of a performance. Audio description is relayed via a discreet headset linked to the infrared audio system.
This service is offered with specially reduced ticket prices to encourage greater access. For information on booking audio described performances and to book your headset, please contact Sydney Theatre Company Box Office directly on 9250 1777 or email boxoffice@sydneytheatre.com.au
