Listen through an earpiece— attached to a pocket sized FM radio—to trained audio describers as they provide a live, objective, and succinct description of the action and visual elements of the play, without interfering with dialogue.
Spoken dialogue scrolls across a digital screen as the action occurs on stage. The caption unit is visible to the entire audience but is located in an unobtrusive position near the stage.
