[nabs-l] Descriptive headsets for plays

[Carly Mihalakis via nabs-l]

Hi, everyone,


         In fact, my experience listening to plays and operas using a 
headset is that, the descriptions are quite artfully folded into the 
sound track of the play kind of like descriptive movies. I say this 
because, in my experience the descriptions don't interfere with the play/movie.
