 Spent a few days in Chicago this month and I took a walking tour at night. This scene caught my eye as the play of light from above added interest to the stage door at the rear of the Oriental Theater.

Literaly - a look behind the scenes. The viewer takes on the role of an actor and gets to see 'backstage'. Get B&W tones and I really like the shadowplay on the brick wall. I think the composition would be stronger if you cropped closer the the main elements - cropping out 1/4 from the left bringing the crop closer to the stage door and those fantastic shadows and you bring those two mains to the center stage.
