Are you one of those people who studies the extensive list of names at the back of the Playbill when you see a show, wondering who they all are and what exactly they do? Then In The Wings is for you. Focusing on the people who are almost never in the news but who are essential to the making of the shows we all see and love, In The Wings explores the talents and stories behind the scenes, from the costume and scenic shops to the rehearsal room to the stage itself, with designers, artisans and craftspeople explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on disciplines you may not even realize are a part of theatrical production and celebrate the full diversity of talent that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.

Martha Donaldson
Martha Donaldson, Stage Manager, discusses her role as a conduit for the director, cast and designers; assisting the director with getting their vision on to the stage and maintaining the director's vision after she leaves the production; how putting together a production is like putting together a puzzle. We see her at work in the rehearsal room, at technical rehearsal in Central Park and on Opening Night of The Public's The Bacchae as the show starts.
This edition of In The Wings was made possible by the generous support of Dasha Epstein and Anita Jaffe.
