Summary:

"Julia Solis's photographs of abandoned theaters from across the United States and Europe conjure the remaining magic of these decaying buildings and rooms, though the screenings and performances ceased long ago. Years of neglects show in the images of stages cluttered with debris, vaulted ceilings pocked with peeling paint and water damage, seats and floors slowly disappearing under tenacious undergrowth and trash"-- p. [4] of cover.
