Celebrating World Theatre Day with a Look Back at the Freddy Awards Gallery

Happy World Theatre Day!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that theatre isn’t just a performance — it’s a community, a heartbeat, and a place where young artists discover who they are. I’ve had the honor of photographing the Freddy Awards since 2013, and every season reminds me just how much talent, passion, and joy lives in our local high school theatre programs.

Each year, several of my Freddy Awards images were featured in the State Theatre Center for the Arts Gallery in Easton, PA. Seeing those moments — the emotion, the storytelling, the pure electricity of live theatre — displayed on the walls of such a historic venue was incredibly meaningful. It’s one thing to capture a performance; it’s another to see those images become part of the theater’s visual history.

This year’s gallery installation is already up, and if you’re curious which images made the cut, you can check them out any show night at the State Theatre. I’ll also be sharing some of them here on the blog in the coming weeks.

From the Swamp to the Sea: My Upcoming Show Season

A promotional graphic for Dabour Photography titled 'Photography & Videography by Dabour Photography.' The image features a collage of theatrical logos for upcoming Spring 2026 productions: Shrek The Musical, SpongeBob SquarePants The Broadway Musical, Finding Nemo Kids, Into the Woods, Frozen, The Wizard of Oz, and Sleeping Beauty.

What do Shrek, SpongeBob, Finding Nemo Kids, Into the Woods (x2), Frozen (x2), and Sleeping Beauty all have in common?

Aside from a suspicious amount of talking animals and magical curses… they’ve all booked me. Whether it’s capturing a swamp-dwelling ogre or a pineapple under the sea, I’ll be behind the lens providing photography and videography for every single one of these productions this season.

All of the above do not include all that I do for the Freddy Awards coming up in May!

Riley’s professional headshot session.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredibly talented Riley for a professional headshot session. Riley is a force to be reckoned with, balancing her demanding studies as both a dance and theater major!

From the moment she stepped in front of the camera, her passion and dedication were undeniable. We focused on capturing a range of expressions that showcased her versatility – from the thoughtful intensity required for dramatic roles to the approachable confidence perfect for dance and musical theater.

It’s always a treat to work with young artists who possess such drive and talent. We created images that truly reflect her personality and professional aspirations, providing her with the perfect tools for auditions and networking in the competitive worlds of dance and theater.

More to Come!

And the best part? This is just the beginning! I’m thrilled to announce that Riley will be returning to the studio soon for two more exciting sessions:

  1. A Dynamic Dance Portrait Session: Get ready for breathtaking leaps, elegant lines, and the powerful artistry she brings to every movement.
  2. A Personalized Senior Portrait Experience: Marking this significant milestone with images that celebrate her individuality and achievements before she embarks on her next chapter.

I can’t wait to share more of Riley’s journey with you all. Stay tuned to see the magic we create together!

This headshot session was just the first act for Riley! I am so excited to welcome her back to the studio very soon for a dynamic dance portrait session where we can truly capture her movement and artistry. Following that, we’ll be teaming up again for her senior portraits to celebrate this incredible milestone in her life. Stay tuned to the blog to see the magic we create in these upcoming sessions!
