Theater Panorama

this would be a great place to shoot a video for my band!

what is the name of your band just woundering by the way and what style of music do you play metal.... punk... or other ?

wow, very cool pic!

One of my favorite shots here....this is an incredibly enjoyable site to visit !

This is one of the most impressive photos on this site.

Wow, you're not kidding!
That's VERY f*cking impressive!

And the band played on...

used for staff presentations and seminars, . patients rarely permitted. as you can imagine this place packed to the brim with rimming psychos watching cartoons.

Fantastic shot!

love it!!!!!!!!!!

great picture, kind of gives my the creeps!!!

All i can think of looking at this is...Knock em dead......

Reminds me of doing summerstock productions in a rotting barn in the Northwoods of Wisconsin...

I CANT BELIEVE THIS SHOT! WAY COOL MOTTS YOURE THE @#*&$!

why is there a cross under the first window on the left?

Great shot Motts!!!

Another sad waste.

There is no place like home..................................

I kept expecting a scary face to pop up everytime I scrolled from side to side.
Great shot.

the walls bricks look like blood seeping out...

ok am i the only one who sees the face of a angry man in the middle of the shot in the back of one of the seats.third row second chair left corner close to the left side of the stage??

No, I see it too!!!

How do you do that?? It's amazing!

god that's some scary shit....
i keep expecting something too pop up.
argh.
nothing does..... right?

This place looks like very scary. I wouldn't wan't to be there with just a flashlight.

THEY WERE ACTING MACBETH!!!

I PREDICT A RIOT!!! I PREDICT A RIOT!!!

Whats sad is they wouldnt even think about entertaining mental patients at this scale now days. They would buy them a scrabble game or something

It isn't so much that "they" wouldn't think about entertaining people with mental illnesses on this scale today, as it is the price of such entertainment. Most patients have very limited incomes, with even less money available for entertainment. They cannot afford to go out very often, even to the movies. We sometimes received free tickets to events, or were able to make arrangements for our patients to get in for student rates. Staff salaries are so low that it is hard for staff to come up with the money needed for their own tickets so they can accompany the patients. Most patients enjoyed movies, pretty much the same type of movies anybody else does (with some common sense, such as no pornography or slasher films). In general, everyone's behavior was socially appropriate. Doing normal things in normal settings seems to bring out normal behavior (what a novel thought--you get what you expect!)

Those doors kinda look like a face

I see the face too--middle coumn, 6 or 7 seats down, second over, long hair, teenaged...70's cut...I see him but he doesn't look angry to me

.....and they STILL charge five bucks for a soda!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this photo. It's almost like being there...

...and then I was looking for the face that a couple of you mentioned, and nearly had a heart attack. I don't think I saw the same one as you guys. Far left corner of the front of the stage, there's a screaming face (grey and black), tilting to the right. Clear as day.

I think I've been on this site too much :p

Wow. First to post in over a year. Time & decay had really touched this space. Now, 5 years later, I wonder if it still stands.
