The entertainment industry once relied heavily on majestic theaters, but over time, their attendances declined, leading many of these buildings to close. Some of the most spectacular theaters now remain abandoned, falling into disrepair.
Urban exploring photographer Matthew Christopher has documented these abandoned theaters, providing a glimpse into their stunning architecture. Matthew reflects on the bygone era, expressing disbelief at the fantastic nature of these theaters at their peak.
He questions whether future generations will experience the same grandeur in theater and film. Despite keeping the locations of his photos undisclosed, Matthew’s work offers a captivating look at these remnants of the past.
In addition to his photography, Matthew hosts a regular podcast where he shares the stories behind the ruins he visits, including features on abandoned theaters. His work can be followed on social media platforms and his website, providing further insight into these forgotten spaces.
