Audio Description

Open Captioning is a speech-to-text display to provide a simultaneous transcription of dialogue, lyrics and a description of environmental sounds for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing used at performing arts venues for scripted plays, displayed through an LED Board.​ This service can be used by everyone for viewing in a reserved seating area.  Open captioning is considered a universal accommodation because it can be used by anyone regardless of hearing impairment, age or ability.
