Audio-Description Services
Beth was a 2023-24 Fellow of the Audio-Description Learning Network, created to increase representation by queer and BIPOC people as theatre audio-describers in the Philadelphia area. Audio description makes live events more accessible and enjoyable for those who are blind/low vision/visually impaired. Through a radio-enabled microphone, an audio describer details setting, movement, character appearance, costumes – anything visual that is needed to understand the play – and attendees listen via headphones and receivers.
Working with People's Light and Theatre Company, mentors, coaches and a cohort of four Fellows, Beth's training included creating pre-show notes, presenting sensory tours, and describing a live theatre production for feedback from the cohort and audience members. You can listen to Beth's audio-described pre-show notes here.
