Accessibility

Steep Theatre is committed to making our home and our work as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. If there's a barrier preventing you from attending a Steep performance, or if there's something we can do to make our work easier for you to enjoy, please let us know. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we appreciate you joining us on this journey.

Services for people who are blind or have low vision

Audio description is a verbal commentary that tells visually impaired theatre-goers what is happening on the stage during the parts of the performance where there is no dialogue. The audio description is accessible using a wireless headset.
