During pauses in the dialog, via a small earpiece in one ear, low-vision or blind patrons hear a trained volunteer describe the stage action -- body language, costumes, scenery, lighting, colors -- as if a friend were seated next to them, and without bothering others nearby.

After purchasing a theatre ticket, audio description is a free service for selected performances in the Washington area, including those at National Theater, Arena's Fichandler and Kreeger Theaters; Lansburgh/Shakespeare; Hexagon; Ford's; Round House and Olney Theater.

If you have any questions, comments or have a performance that you would like to have Audio Described please call 301 681 6636
