Thimblerig Circus

I photographed the Thimblerig Circus, an Atlanta area theater group, during the Atlanta Fringe Festival for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday, May 10, 2012. Thimblerig is comprised of three actors, Jen Doran, Adam Lowe and Jason Munger. The trio performed as part of this year’s Atlanta Fringe Festival, an initiative to bring 27 theater groups to Atlanta for 132 performances over 4 days. Venues included the Horizons School in Atlanta, The Mask Center in Atlanta, Core Dance Studio in Dectur, Beacon Dance Studio in Decatur and Wonderroot in Atlanta.
