New Jersey Stage December 2014 | Page 66

Even stage manager Erin Drakoulis is back for her 14th year behind the scenes. Speaking of behind the scenes, as with all PIP productions, Joseph is also accessible to people with disabilities through a variety of programs and services. The State Theatre offers wheelchair and companion seating on the orchestra level for those with mobility impairments. The show also boasts live audio-description for those who are blind or have significant vision loss. For this particular audience, the show is preceded by a sensory seminar, a New Jersey Stage hands on pre-show lecture that allows audiences to touch key props and costumes, including Joseph’s much sung about coat. For those who use American Sign Language (ASL), the show will be sign interpreted. Open Captioning for those with hearing loss will also be presented. Braille and Large Print programs are available upon request. Assistive listening devices may be requested through the State Theatre. Please contact Jackie Neill at 732-745-3936, or e-mail Jackie.
