Audio Description

The Rep offers Audio Description for any non-preview performance of the Mainstage, Studio or Off-Ramp series. The description includes program notes as well as information on the visual elements of the production.

Audio Description is received through iPod Shuffles with headsets which are available at Patron Services. The tracks are programmed to be listened to prior to the performance and during intermission.

To reserve tickets and description devices, please call the Box Office at (314) 968-4925.

In 1998, The Rep pioneered Live Audio Description services for St. Louis audiences. Beginning with the 2007–2008 season, The Rep expanded its Audio Description service to all three performance venues and made it available for any performance.

By hearing program notes and information about the visual elements of a production — lighting, costumes, scenery and other aspects — blind and visually impaired audiences can now appreciate the full sensory experience of live theatre.
