Whether it be a simple black box or an ornate former film palace, these spaces have a certain power to them. They are built as a forum for expression and connection throughout a community. The duality between performer and audience is expressed through the opposite views the photographs describe. These theaters were shot traveling through New England and show an assortment of designs that depend on the context of each community the theaters represent.
