Central Avenue Breakdown promotional photos

I am the official photographer for the New York Musical Theater Festival. I work with many of the participating shows taking promotional images for them. These are the shots for a show called Central Avenue Breakdown. This was an interesting shoot as it was done on very short notice. We ended up shooting under an old staircase of a brownstone near the rehearsal space. As it turned out, there was a repair shop for woodwinds right at that space. The show is about saxophone playing brothers in the 1950s so it was kismet to find this spot. We shot at high noon in bright sun, so there were many lighting challenges, but it worked out well. Thanks to all the actors who patiently posed.
