If you\u2019re searching for Neverland, look no further than the Aspen District Theatre. Starting Thursday, March 14, Peter Pan is taking flight at the theater for Aspen High\u2019s spring musical production of \u201cPeter Pan.\u201d While all eyes will be on the performers both onstage and flying high above, a lot of work goes on behind the scenes. There will be six performances over four days.<\/p>\n

In this edition of \u201cWhat\u2019s In Your \u2026\u201d we take a peak at what the \u201cPeter Pan\u201d stage manager has on hand to make sure the show can go on, no matter what happens. Look for Aspen Times Arts Editor Andrew Travers\u2019 full story on the production on our newly redesigned website, \u2028 www.aspentimes.com.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget your lines<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most important things in the stage managers tool kit is the script. That way they always know where people should be and what part of the scene comes next, even if the actors and actresses don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Be Prepared<\/strong><\/p>\n

A stage manager must be ready with a quick fix for any accident, incident or mishap that happens on or off stage. \u201cPeter Pan\u201d director Logan Carter shared this exhaustive list of all the items in the stage managers kit: Antibacterial wipes, stain remover, Advil, first aid kit, Band-Aids, ChapStick, cough drops, clothespins, safety pins, Velcro, DayQuil, breath mints, Tums, saline solution for contacts and a tampon.<\/p>\n

A light in the darkness<\/strong><\/p>\n

The confusion backstage can be its own issue, but turn down the lights and it\u2019s way more confusing. Helping to shed a little light on the situation, a headlamp is a must and a lot easier than carrying a flashlight.<\/p>\n

All the accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talk about grab bag. To continue on the theme of be prepared for anything the other miscellaneous musts include: mic tape, batteries, assorted gel color for lights, zip ties, keys to the theater and the sound\/light booth.<\/p>\n
