Good question, Sean. If the national tour wasn't allowed to have the Billys fly, I don't see how this production would be allowed to include flying.

CHAPTER 11. EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS
Subchapter A. EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS IN PERFORMANCES
§ 11.1. Definitions.
The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Employer—Any person who for his own account or benefit or that of his patrons, directly or indirectly, or through an employe, agent, independent contractor, or any other person employs or permits any minor to work in theatrical productions, musical recitals or concerts, entertainment acts, modeling, radio, television, motion picture making, or in other similar forms or media of entertainment.
Employment—A minor engaged in a performance shall be deemed employed, if any person, including the performer, his parent or teacher, receives remuneration from the performance or if any performer in the production is paid for performing.
Hazardous performances, acts, or exhibitions—These terms shall include all of the following:
(i) All aerial acts including suspension from trapezes, ropes, wires, or like contrivances.[/b]
§ 11.3. Applicability; general provisions.
(a) Every employer or person exercising direction or control over a minor or minors under 18 years of age in public performances shall be responsible for complying with the Child Labor Law (43 P. S. § § 41—71), and this subchapter.
(b) The issuance of special performance permits is the duty of the Bureau of Women and Children, Hours and Minimum Wages of the Department.
(c) Special performance permits shall be issued only when in the judgement of the Bureau there is adequate provision for the educational instruction, supervision, safety, health and welfare of the minor and for the safeguarding for the minor of the earnings derived by the minor from his performances, and only when the requirements of this subchapter have been met.
(d) The special performance permit shall be valid only under conditions specified in the permit.
My conclusion is that, for a one week touring visit, the need/cost to apply for such a variance/permit was deemed unnecessary; but that in a regional show, performed in an established PA theatre, such variance/permit would be sought and approved, subject to satisfying health and safety provisions. It may be that the former Tour's externally contracted flying provisions did not meet PA standards, and that compliance was deemed to be not cost, or time, effective for such a brief engagement.

In the audience on Saturday evening October 8 were special visitors Shane Treloar (Michael at the Maltz/Jupiter) and his mom from Pittsburgh. Shane gave his approval for Jamie's performance. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

The Fulton is planning a $29 million upgrade to its theatre and the surrounding block in downtown Lancaster.
