Each season, Royal MTC attempts to offer a variety of performances with reduced barriers. In 2022/23, you can attend a performance with ASL interpretation or live audio description. Find more details about this year's AD and ASL shows and book tickets here starting July 28.
Audio description can be beneficial to those with vision loss. During audio described performances, audience members will use a receiver and earpiece to hear about the visual elements of the production. This includes a brief introduction and description of physical action and important visual details through the show. These descriptions are voiced live, in real time, by a trained describer. Only patrons with these receivers will hear the description. Equipment is provided by the describers, but you are welcome to bring your own earbuds or portable headphones if you prefer!
Each season, Royal MTC offers an ASL-interpreted performance. For these performances, members of the Deaf community or others requesting ASL interpreters should book tickets online through this link or contact the Box Office to book their tickets in the best sections to view the interpreter. There is limited seating available in these sections. If no one has requested tickets in the interpreter's section 48 hours before the performance, the interpretation is cancelled, so please book in advance!
