You Can't Take it With You

I returned to the Franklin Opera House on February 28, 2010 to photograph a dress rehearsal of You Can't Take it With You. Most shots were taken either with a 300mm lens mounted on a Nikon D700 or a 24-70mm lens mounted on a D300s. A few shots were taken with a Sigma 10-20mm lens mounted on a Nikon D80. All shots are shown in roughly chronological order.
