Kings Theatre

Kings Theatre sat abandoned for decades before recently receiving a complete rehab and reopening to much fanfare in the media (e.g., this NY Times piece). Prior to the rehab starting, but after lighting equipment for the rehab had been brought in, some friends and I visited and took some photographs. Here is what decades of disrepair and negligence does to a beautiful art deco structure. Happily, the theatre is currently open and you can book tickets at their website!
