Hello! My name is Liz Kent and I am writing you from the Shakespeare Theatre 
in Madison, NJ. As a performing arts institution, we are dedicated to the 
belief that arts should be accessible for all, and are working to ensure our 
theatre is fully accessible, posing no barriers to physically challenged 
audience members.

To strive toward this goal, we are now holding Audio Described performances 
with Sensory Seminars.

This means that the visually impaired patrons would wear a headset and have 
the action on stage described to them in between the actor's dialogue. A 
sensory seminar would take place beforehand, allowing the patrons to feel 
the costumes or props, and give them a sense of the materials used on stage 
to help provide understanding of the concept of the production.

In addition, we also have large print programs for those with vision 
impairment, assisted listening devices for folks who are hard of hearing, 
and a new phone/tablet app to provide closed captions for deaf patrons.

Our upcoming Audio Described performance for our current production, Titus 
Andronicus, will be on July 29th at 7:30PM.

We will be having at least one for each production, and as we schedule those 
dates, the information will be available on our website at 
shakespearenj.org<http://shakespearenj.org>.

We do have group rates for groups of 10 or more, and we would love to have 
you as we work on making theatre as accessible is possible.
For pricing and upcoming performances, call 973 408 5600.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best,
Liz Kent
