The service commences 10 minutes prior to the start of the performance so that the set and other elements can be described or sections of the program can be read to the patron. There are also tactile tours available for some performances. Tactile tours give patrons an understanding of the costumes and stage set. Patrons will be escorted onto the set so that they get an idea of the dimensions and will be able to touch the props being used on stage, and where the entrances and exits are so they know where characters enter. Patrons will also be able to handle the costumes being worn by the actors.
