After The Final Curtain: America's Abandoned Theaters Vol. 2

Beskrivelse

Take a journey through America's forgotten movie palaces with Matt Lambros as he captures their haunting beauty. Once bustling with crowds dressed to the nines, these grand theaters now stand silent and abandoned.

A photographic exploration of America's deserted and decaying movie theaters.

In the early 1900s, small towns and cities across the U.S. were alive with the glow and buzz of movie theaters. The most extravagant of these, known as "movie palaces," were designed to make visitors feel like royalty, often inspiring them to dress up for the occasion.

However, as years passed, filling the massive 2,000+ seat venues became increasingly difficult, leading many theaters to shut their doors. Today, these once-glorious palaces are only lit by the faint flicker of failing lights, while the sound of dripping water echoes through their empty auditoriums.

In After the Final Curtain (Volume 2), acclaimed photographer Matt Lambros continues his nationwide journey to document these elegant yet abandoned buildings. From the eerie, supposedly haunted Pacific Warner Theatre in Los Angeles to the historic Orpheum Theatre in New Bedford, Massachusetts-which opened on the very day the Titanic sank-Lambros unveils what remains, giving these majestic theaters a chance to shine once more.
