Quebec theatres expand accessibility with audio description and sign-language performances

Summary

Quebec theatres are increasingly adopting accessibility measures such as audio descriptions and sign-language interpretation to accommodate patrons with visual and hearing impairments. Dominique Boucher, who has lived with a visual impairment for 40 years, is returning to theatre after years of staying away, thanks to these inclusive initiatives. The Théâtre du Trident in Quebec City and the Théâtre du Rideau Vert are among the venues leading this effort, with the latter staging a play featuring both hearing and hard-of-hearing actors.
