THOUGHTS ON THE MALL ENTERTAINMENT SUMMER 2010
Very successful
Many people came in anticipation of entertainment
A large following
People came for entertainment, went to eat in local restaurants and came
back for more.
Many people asked me how it was we were there and were very excited and
impressed to hear that the City of Aspen had hired us.
Brought to you by the City of Aspen needs to be visible
We need advertising — newspaper, local TV
What about corporate sponsors? If we had more money, we could bring in
other acts. I was contacted by some high end out of town performers this
summer who were interested in coming to Aspen.
Possibility of placing a more permanent stage, with shelter from the sun
Could be used by others — Jazz fest, bands, library story hour, kid's theatre
productions, etc. The Wagner Park Family Theatre.
Possibility of other performance locations — across from Paradise, and the
Gondola Plaza
Other types of entertainment — comedian, etc. at different times in different
places.
Big question — Liability. Who is responsible? Does the City carry a policy
for these kinds of things? Should all performers be registered with the City?
What about out of- towners like the Boulder Jugglers who came and set up in
the mall and did a very unsafe show? How can we make sure we are
covered, and that Kidtoons isn't liable for everyone?
