Recently, Assistant News Editor Ismaa Viqar took a trip into Glassboro’s past when she explored the abandoned theater on High Street. Once the boards were pried back, she delved into a treasure trove of old costumes, broken marquee letters and moldy velvet. With glass crunching beneath her heels, she explored the vast two-story structure, including the apartment above it and the pit under the stage where all the old props were kept.

While there she snapped some pictures, though the low light made it difficult. She used long exposures to capture many of the images as she made her way through the musty rooms. As it began to grow dark outside she decided it would be best to leave before night fell.
