Spring & Summer Live Audio Description

Martha Kehr

If it has been a while since you spent a night out enjoying a live theater performance, then now is the time to make plans. Audio-Reader is excited to announce several upcoming theater performances where Live Audio Description will be available. 

Our trained Audio Describers make visual imagery come to life, highlighting action, costumes, settings, and other visually important images without speaking over the actors. Patrons check out a pair of headphones on the way into the theater, and the describer broadcasts directly into the headphones.

In April, learn about astrophysicist Henrietta Leavitt who laid the foundation for how we use light to calculate the distances between stars during Theatre Lawrence's production of Silent Sky. Description will be available during the Saturday, April 22 showing. Learn more on Theatre Lawrence's Webpage.

The next day, on Sunday, April 23, the sun will come out in Kansas City at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts as they present the beloved classic Annie! Description will be available during the 1:00 matinee showing that Sunday. Learn more on the Kauffman Center's Webpage.

Announcing the Starlight Summer Broadway Series

From familiar favorites like Jesus Christ Superstar to the Beatles tribute show Rain, and including future classics such as Jagged Little Pill, Starlight's 2023 Summer Broadway Series has you covered! Live Audio Description will be available at the following showings:

Audio Description can also be requested. We have recently been to a few local high schools to describe at their live performances. If you would like to request Live Audio Description at an upcoming performance, use our request form. 

We hope to find you at the theater!
