Stage flight: 'Peter Pan' cast at Playhouse soars with harness system

The Des Moines Register | desmoinesregister.com: Peter Pan always says the trick to flying is thinking happy thoughts. But at the Des Moines Community Playhouse, where he’ll be flying for the rest of the month, happy thoughts go only so far.
The rest of the magic comes from a big guy backstage who holds the other end of Peter’s hidden cable and jumps off a 6-foot ladder. When he goes down, Peter goes up.
At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
