[KeyStoneChapter] Exciting Event! Learn about Theatrical Audio Description Opportunities for the Blind and Visually Impaired Community in Philadelphia. Monday May 6th at 2:00 PM virtual meeting

[Simon Bonenfant]

Good afternoon fellow thespians!

I hope you are all well.

Many of you may be aware of my recent involvement as an accessibility
analyst for the Audio Description Learning Network (ADLN). For those who
are unfamiliar, Audio Description is an accessibility service that allows
for human narration of visual elements for TV shows, movies, plays, and
musicals.

To diversify the theatrical audio description landscape in Philadelphia,
ADLN was formed, as a collaboration of four local theatres, to provide
training and monetary resources for new BIPOC and LGBTQ+ audio describers.
The four theatres in this initiative include: Hedgerow Theatre Company,
1812 Productions, People's Light, and Wilma Theatre.

ADLN has just completed our first year of training and programming, and we
are excited to share our findings with you! You are invited to a virtual
presentation, via Google Meet, to discuss our work over the past year, ask
questions, provide feedback for the future, and learn how you can get
involved in this exciting initiative. Please see the below note from ADLN
project manager, Lee Etzold, which includes more information about the
presentation, along with joining instructions.

"Hello! I would like to invite you to this Virtual Share and discussion
about what we've been learning over the past two years through the Audio
Description Learning Network. Members of the network will introduce new
audio describers, share our findings and discuss the future! The
presentation will be recorded and followed by a conversation. Please share
this invitation with anyone you know who might be curious about offering
Audio Description and/or sharing their experiences using it"
