Access Program
Our Access Program makes sure that more South Australians can enjoy the experience of live theatre.
Vision Impaired
People with vision impairment are invited to attend specific performances with an audio description of the play designed for their needs. It includes a pre-show discussion of the set and stage, the opportunity to feel the costumes and props as well as being introduced to the cast.
Patrons meet in the venue foyer at 5.30pm for the pre-show briefing and the performance commences at 6.30pm.
