Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many Atlanta theatres have now been dark for several months. Local photographer Michael Boatright has been focusing on the economic challenges that theatres are facing and the impact of their closures on the artists, culture and economy. Since early July, he has been shooting the Dark Houses Atlanta series of photographs of stages as they were left when theatres closed this spring—currently showing images from twenty-eight theatres and music venues around the Atlanta area included in the project to date. This exhibit will showcase images from twelve of the twenty-eight theatres.

Michael Boatright is a Certified Professional Photographer, based in Atlanta, Georgia, making portraits for commercial and private clients, and for the theater, dance and music communities. His Fine Art projects also include landscape photography on four continents and abstract impressions of real-life subjects. His studio is located in the TULA Arts Center in Buckhead, Atlanta.
