Photographer Michael Boatright has a passion for music, dance and theater. He’s using his own art to raise awareness about the crisis facing live performances, venues and theaters during the pandemic.

Boatright joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about his new project, “Dark Houses Atlanta.”

The project highlights theaters and venues in the metro Atlanta area that have gone dark due to the COVID-19 crisis. He was approached by Dramatech artistic director Melissa Foulger to pursue this series. He is an alumnus of Georgia Tech and works with the students at the theater.
