Hi everyone,
Sharing the below announcement from my friend Marcie about an added audio
description offering of The New Electric Ballroom happening this Friday
night at the Hedgerow Theatre in Rose Valley.

I had the opportunity to see the play a few weeks ago, and I would highly
recommend it. The acting is tremendous and the sensory tour is very
detailed as well

Hi Simon & Maria,

We've added another audio described performance for The New Electric
Ballroom this Friday at 7:30p (sensory tour at 6:45p). Nicole will provide
the description. I would appreciate it if you might be game to share word
about this with friends and colleagues whom you think may be interested.

(Also, out of curiosity - does the alt-text still come through on images if
I'm forwarding an email - the company at hedgerowtheatre.org eblast is below
for ease of sharing, if so).

Should you need anything to help share this with folks, please let me know.
We only have a few open seats left, which is exciting!

All best,
Marcie

[image: An image of the stage of The New Electric Ballroom, with no actors
on the stage. There''s a long dining room table center stage, with three
chairs placed around at the ends and in the middle. The left side of the
kitchen has old kitchen appliances from the 1940s, a white refrigerator,
oven, stove with handles, kitchen counter with pots and pans, and walls
that are in disrepair. The back wall has three hooks with three sets of
clothing hung - a pink cargigan over a pleated skirt; a red blouse over a
pleated blue skirt; a silver suit jacket, next to a heavy wooden door. The
right-side of the stage has wooden shelving and hutch with plates, and
canned goods, respectively. There's a smaller wooden door on the right-side
wall, and a small table with a delicate glass lamp. Across the image is the
text" this production opens with a scintillating prelude thanks to Lily
Fossner's lighting design... Marie Laster's set, and Georgia Evans's
costumes fantastically hearken to this ballroom" -Broad Street Review and
"A haunting nightly dance" -Broad Street Review]
