And still, the theatre stays dark.

This was the next challenge in the theatre, which was just as hard as shooting Milky White.  I was trying to tell the story of setting up for the play Into the Woods! And I was successful, after they finally turned on the lights.  The first photo was my attempt with flash.  It worked! I got them... well, visible, if not a bit underexposed.  I did what I could, but it's a black hole of doom and darkness in there.  The flash was straight on them. I'm just glad I didn't blow them out entirely. Or make them disappear from being so dark.

After they finally turned on the stage lights, it was easy from there.  I was able to turn off my flash and enjoy the show.  I'm particularly fond of this photo, though, because they weren't acting. They were genuinely getting frustrated because they had a fellow actor who didn't know his lines two weeks before opening night.  Right after this photo, the whole crew got a nice butt chewing for their "unpreparedness."  It was a mess in there, and this photo was definitely the photo that caught the mood in there that night.
