Located in downtown Middletown, NY, it may not look like much to many of the big-time city folks but if we take a step back in time...
... we would find the grand olde Bull's Opera House in which none other than Edwin Booth performed one of his most famous roles as Hamlet.
Now while some of you might be disappointed that it was Edwin and not John who graced the stage here, rest assured Edwin was the better actor. Today, you'll find just as interesting a character waiting at the door to greet you...
From here it's upstairs to the old lobby with concession stands and ticket booths. Sadly, these have all been replaced by light tables, computers, scanners, two TV sets and a few fake pine trees. From the one-time lobby, you enter into what was once the theater.
Today, the high ceilings serve to house our Motion Capture system...
... and green screen.
Then there's the lamp post that leads to Narnia, but I'll save that for a later blog...
