What is Audio Description?
Opening the arts world to people who are blind or have low vision, audio description offers you an understanding of what is happening visually within a theatre, television, film, DVD, museum, exhibition or other arts related productions.
Live Theatre 
Delivered by highly trained Vision Australia audio describers, the service brings transitions, movements, gestures, props, settings, costumes and scenery vividly and succinctly to life during pauses in on stage dialogue. Transmitted to you buy a small radio receiver and single earpiece, allowing you to sit in virtually any area of the theatre.
Ensure you are seated 15 minutes prior to the start of the performance to receive broadcast of program details and a description of the set design through the ear piece.
Tactile tours are also offered at selected shows 1 hour prior to the performance. Check the events page for availability.
