Audio Description
Live narration of the action on stage is transmitted via our Assistive Listening System to patrons who are blind or visually impaired. This service is available at the first Sunday matinee performance of each show in the HCA Healthcare/TriStar Health Broadway at TPAC series, at 1:00 p.m. CST, as well as the second Saturday matinee performance of select performances in the Nashville Repertory season at 2:00 p.m. CST. A trained narrator describes the visual elements on the stage, in between the actors’ dialogue. Additional notes are given 20 minutes prior to the performance and during intermission.

Assistive Listening System
Options for Wi-Fi-based assistive listening are available for all performances.

TPAC will hold your photo ID or major credit card until the headset is returned following the performance. The headset has T-coil capability for use with compatible hearing aids. You may also use your own headset (standard 3.5MM). Bluetooth is not available.
- NEW FEATURE: The ListenWIFI mobile app is also available for download to access assistive listening on guest’s personal smartphone device, using their preferred headphones or connected hearing aids. Once at TPAC, guests can connect to our system within the app via a QR code retrieved on site.
