Protecting Your Ass Onstage

TheatreFace: Precautionary measures must be considered when you bring animals onto the stage, be it on a film set, TV studio, or live theatre production. There is an element of wonder that they can bring to the scene, however, animals are unpredictable and can be real scene stealers. There are many circumstances where a dog or cat can bring a warm feeling to a vignette, or a cowboy on a horse can set the scene for realism, however, even a fish tank full of miniature carp can present complications if not carefully managed. Want a circus scene or an authentic Indian wedding? Elephants can make for big entrances, and big messes.
