Audio Description
Queensland Theatre works with Vantagepoint to offer Audio Described services on specific performances. This service allows blind or low vision patrons to enjoy our shows by having trained describers capture in live narration the action, costumes, sets, transitions, gestures, facial expressions and lighting or special effects in performance. This service can be enjoyed from anywhere in the theatre, via a ListenTech assistive listening device. Upon your arrival please go to the Box Office to collect your device.
Tactile Tours
Tactile Tours are available for all of our mainstage productions and are scheduled on the same dates as Audio Described performances. Each tour offers blind and low-vision patrons the chance to touch and examine props and costumes and hear the cast and crew describe the visual aspects of the production. If you are interested in learning more about upcoming Tactile Tours, please contact mail@queenslandtheatre.com.au or phone 3010 7600.
