15 Abandoned Theaters

By Queuebot in Pictures on Nov 3, 2009 at 8:24 pm


Oobject captures the majesty and opulence that once defined theater archiecture, and the sadness of their current emptiness in this gallery of urban decay photography. The theater pictured here is in Hellingly Asylum, Sussex.

Theaters are a relic of the past. Don’t believe me? Look at drive-in movie theaters and the shakespearean stage. They simply don’t exist in modern America anymore, save for a relic or three buried in a small town somewhere. This list pays tribute to the thespians and films of the past century, to their writers and directors and to the actors who made them happen.

    These old places are great. I'm always impressed when someone buys them and converts them to a restaurant or nightclub.

    I wonder how these buildings are still around, who owns them?
