"McCarter Theatre Center's Access Coordinator, Janet Zoubek Dickson of Pennington was awarded the first ever Leadership Award from the Cultural Access Network of New Jersey. In addition, McCarter's comprehensive access program continues to expand, adding a full season of open captioned performances to its schedule for the first time.
As access coordinator for McCarter Theatre for the past four seasons, Janet Zoubek Dickson has provided an invaluable service to the theater and its patrons by helping to ensure that each McCarter performance is accessible to the entire community, especially patrons with special needs. The founder in 1981 of the National Audio Description Coalition, Ms. Dickson helped introduce the first ever audio described performance at Arena Stage and worked as narrator and scriptwriter for the descriptive video service pilot program for public television's American Playhouse from 1987 - 1989. She also trains new audio describers throughout New Jersey and personally audio describes
performances at many of New Jersey's professional theaters.
