Circa Theatre Fundraising for Audio Description
Circa Theatre Fundraising for Audio Description
Circa Theatre aims to make our theatre accessible for everyone, and part of that mandate is providing audio described performances. Audio description is the method of describing the non-verbal action in a play into headsets worn by blind and visually impaired audience members, so that they can have as complete a theatre experience as possible. Circa has presented two audio described performances before, in 2011 and 2012, and we would like to continue with this momentum.
Circa plans to audio describe the performance of Mother Goose - The Pantomime on Sunday, 15 December. This will be the first play we audio describe that is suitable for children as well as adults. The cost of hiring the equipment and the audio describer (who puts in hours of work before the actual performance) is too great for Circa's limited budget. We will therefore need to raise the $1500 required to make this performance happen.
