Description
Theatrical Photographer T. Charles Erickson captures two-dimensional representations that become the historical record of live stage productions. Erickson grew up with a camera always by his side, from childhood through "Woodstock" to his first photography job at Yale University. At a Yale Repertory Theatre rehearsal for "Master Harold...and the Boys" he encountered playwright Athol Fugard who encouraged him. Erickson went on to photograph shows at the Long Wharf Theatre, Hartford Stage, Lincoln Center Theater, and many more; and is shown here at a dress rehearsal of "American Buffalo" at Princeton's McCarter Theatre.
