My name is Amy Ogden and I am contacting you because you have attended live theatre shows described by Bonnie Barlow or myself.

Currently, Bonnie is mainly doing audio description for TV and film (and occasionally some live events). She has trained me, and a couple of other Audio Describers, so that we can now describe live theatre events in, and around, the Denver area.

I will periodically send out emails listing upcoming shows I will be audio describing.

My AD shows in the near future are:

-Disney's Aladdin at the Buell Theatre (DCPA Complex), Saturday, June 17 at 2pm
