Discover Theatre Day:
Making Theatre Accessable At The New Wolsey
Thursday 25 February 2010
The New Wolsey Theatre has a commitment to promoting theatre to a diverse range of people. They have, for some time, been delivering audio described performances for blind and partially sighted patrons and recently they launched a new service in the area for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing patrons – captioned theatre.
To promote both services to existing and new audiences the theatre are hosting an open day for local deaf or visually impaired people, their friends and family.
The event will take place on: Thursday 25 February
At: 11am – 1pm (audio description) and 1.30pm – 3.30pm (captioning) This event is an exciting opportunity for all blind, visually impaired, deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people in the Ipswich area to find out more about both services, discover what’s involved and what’s on offer at the New Wolsey Theatre. The events will include a demonstration of the services, a tour of the theatre and a chance to meet staff and fellow audience members.
Both events at the New Wolsey Theatre on 25th February are Free.
If you would like to attend, advance booking is essential.
