Joe Mazza’s Brave Lens

AMERICAN THEATRE: With a camera in one hand and, prophetically, light in the other, a Chicago theatre superhero dives under tables, runs along Writers Theatre’s backstage corridors, and easily climbs Eurydice’s steeply-raked set, all in search of uplifting the scene in front of him. This radically joyful, loving, and attentive photographer, armed with a belt containing three cameras and wearing your typical backstage all-black clothing, is anything but “behind the scenes.” Joe Mazza stands firmly in the action.
