Jacki Bruce's Story

As I begin losing my site I also began losing the ability to enjoy the visual arts. The arts, attending plays and performances, going to museums studying paintings etc. has been a very big part of my life as long as I can remember. I grew up and hour and a half north of New York City, my brother mother and I attended local theater performances as well as several Broadway shows. This continued throughout my life and my husband and I Head and continue to have season tickets to several theater venues in our area. We were attending a show and I was sitting in the audience not able to see the performance, not able to understand why people were laughing, not able to comprehend the lavish miss of the costumes, not able to see the performers, not able to feel the excitement that I used to feel. My husband helped by describing things as the play went along but it just wasn’t the same! Other audience members near us were hashing us and as  I sat there that day in a room full of hundreds of people I never felt so alone or so lonely in my Life! My heart broke that day when I thought this is it I can’t do this anymore this part of my life is over. Then I met Lois Boyle, the executive director of Access Virginia and all of that changed. I attended an audio described show, the Wizard of Oz, and my heart swelled and filled with love and excitement. I listened to the audio description and knew exactly what was going on from the opening rise of the curtain to the final bow. With audio description I am able to see with my ears and can now enjoy the visual arts again.
Please help support Access Virginia by purchasing a ticket to our virtual gala. You will learn more about us, see clips of what we’ve done, hear about our future, have fun bid on items in our silent and live auction and maybe even win a prize.
