At certain performances, we will present Open Caption and Audio Description service for patrons who request them. At Open Captioned performances, the dialogue and lyrics of the play are displayed on a captioning device at the side of the stage, so that patrons with hearing difficulties can read the words as they watch. At Audio-Described performances, a narrator uses a headset system to describe the action on stage to patrons, to allow those with visual impairments to follow the action of the show.
