Newer tried my hand at theatre photography until yesterday when I was invited to the dress rehearsal of the local Driffield Musical Theatre's production of The Pajama Game. Well it was worth a try so along I went, was given free rein to take what I want from wherever I fancied.
The advantage of theatre over a rock gig (which I have tried before) is the quantity and consistency of the light. Also unlike portraiture, the actors are in charge of the pose and expression and you only capture and record what is there. I thought burst shooting at 6 frames a second would capture "the moment" but in practice the poses are held for quite a long time and you can capture them quite easily. If you miss one there will be another along in a moment!!
I would encourage you to have a go, it is fun and you can easily obtain super pictures.
