Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol Commonwealth Shakespeare Company

Think Outside The Vox is partnered with Commonwealth Shakespeare Company to prioritize accessibility and uplift Deaf, Blind and disabled access providers and audience in its productions and spaces. The VOX team served on all fronts for CSC’s Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol:
Ingrid O’Dell (Think Outside the Vox Access Coordinator) managed the American Sign Language team (Director of Artistic Sign Language Sabrina Dennison who led ASL Interpreters Christopher Robinson, Michael Herschberg, and Joshua Ayoub, as well as his children/CODAs Logan and Micaela for guest interpreting as Tiny Tim!) and the Audio Description team (pre-show and wayfinding describer Mikey Rose, primary/in-show describer Mel Watkins, and Blind Expert/AD Consultant Tanja Milojevic of GetBraille.com who printed braille programs, recorded audible cast bios, and consulted on the Tactile Tour), with tech and people support from Connor Riordan (Captions Operator/Script Editor with AccessTech) and Voxers on-site for AD and ASL performances (Samatha Gould and Olivia Reinebach). Assistive Listening Devices and large-print programs were also available and Vox was thrilled to receive real-time feedback from Deaf, Blind and disabled audience members. We are looking forward to the Shakespeare in the Park show in Summer 2025.
