Pictures from the stage

Posted: 2/22/06 at 12:16pm

Is there somewhere I can find pictures taken from on stage; aka: looking into the audience. From various Broadway theatres? Like this one of the Gerswhin? I'm especialy interested in the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. Thanks!

Try the Internet Broadway Database. There are some good pictures there.

Actually just because this was brought up, I have tried taking pictures from a couple of stages in theatres looking out into the audience...Eugene O'Neill being one of them. For some reason, everytime I tried, the picture never came out--it was always way too dark.

Eponine, I love your avatar. I haven't seen a picture, but I would absolutely love one as well. If you find one let me know.

Many of the pictures found on the Shubert Site can also a be found in a very interesting coffee table book about the different theatres owned by The Shuberts.

I've been on the stage of the Gershwin 2 times, one when Michelle F. led me around on a tour she gave me and my friend. The other time was when my dad knew the security guy. I took pictures from the audience, but don't know how to scan them onto my pc

Michael Cavanaugh brought me on stage and I took a few photos of the Richard Rogers but I don't think they turned out too well. And I also have the New Amsterdam. That's all.

I have an AWESOME picture (the lighting, the setting, the presence of it all) of me striking a pose on the center of the stage of the Pantages, lights on, with no one around, and you can see a fantastic shot of the actual theatre. I shall find.

Tim, the pictures you posted of that theatre in Auckland remind me so much of The Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta (where I grew up). I wonder if they were designed by the same person, or if one was fashioned after the other.
