07.25.13 - Chicago, Illinois - Every now and then I have the pleasure of shooting photo calls for theatre companies. My friend Amanda and a company she works with, Genesis Ensemble, called me in to shoot some production shots for their latest show, Uptown Opera.
The concept was a bluegrass opera about Appalachian migrants that moved to Chicago in the 1950s. It was set in the amazing Preston Bradley Auditorium, which is a stunning church space built in the 1920s by a pastor who had a large radio following.
Cool Show + Cool Space = Cool Photos. You get the idea.

P.S. - Just to get your bearings, the audience sat on the stage and looked out onto an empty auditorium that was creatively used as a stage for the performers.
