NZ Sign Language Interpreted

For NZSL performances a trained interpreter, situated on the right-hand side or centre of the stage, will interpret the script during the performance using New Zealand Sign Language.
Gudie dogs are welcome to all our performances.
Audio Described

Audio description is a narration service provided that describes what the sighted person takes for granted – those images that a person who is blind or visually impaired formerly could only experience through the whispered asides from a sighted companion. Theatregoers are issued with headsets and sit in the auditorium with the headphone in one ear, listening to the description alongside the show.
We also offer Touch Tours before our shows. These allow blind or low vision patrons the opportunity to get up close with elements of the production. The theatregoer is guided around and invited to touch the set and props and meet the cast before the show.
Booking Headset
Headsets are limited and must be reserved in advance.
To reserve headsets for a performance please email gail@timbray.org.nz or phone 09 486 2261 during office hours

Sensory Relaxed

A sensory relaxed performance creates a less formal, supportive atmosphere in the theatre. The show softens some technical elements and offers support materials to enable neurodiverse children and their family with sensory, movement, communication, and learning needs to enjoy a comfortable and inclusive theatre experience. We have resources including our welcome video to help with your sensory relaxed journey to the theatre.
