A Canadian First!
Join us and be sure to tell your friends about Canada’s first
full season of audio described live theatre for 2010 – 2011
Kickstart has collaborated with five of Vancouver’s finest
theatres to offer an ambitious schedule of live audio description
for theatrical performances. Contact our partners at Vancouver
Playhouse, The Arts Club, Gateway
Theatre, Presentation House and Touchstone
Theatre to book your seats for their audio described
performances! From classics like Death of a Salesman
and musicals like The Fantasticks and Hairspray
to perennial favourites like Brighton Beach Memoirs, EarSighted’s
inaugural theatre season has everything a theatre lover could
ask for.
Audio description brings the sets, lighting, costumes, and
action of a theatre performance alive for blind and visually
impaired audience members. Kickstart has trained a team of professionals
who provide key action and other visual information, between
the actor’s lines, through a wireless transmitter to a single
earpiece worn by the recipient. Description begins 15 minutes
prior to curtain, with an introduction to the overall production
and design concept, and other programme notes.
