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.

Assistive Listening Technology

Patrons who are hard of hearing or have booked into a specific Audio Described performance can borrow a ListenTech assistive listening device from the Box Office. The Audio is sent directly to headphones (provided with the ListenTech device), a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. Upon your arrival, please go to the Box Office to sign out a device.

Auslan Interpretation

Queensland Theatre works with Auslan Stage Left to offer Auslan Interpreted services on specific performances and events. During an Auslan Interpreted performance or event, one or two interpreters are positioned in view, relaying the dialogue spoken by the actors, into sign language, in real-time. Suitable seating is reserved in the theatre to ensure optimal sightlines to the interpreters.
