J.T. Wyney snapped photos of actors mid-performance, catching them in the split-second when their stage faces cracked and their real selves leaked through. One shot shows a tragedian mid-monologue, eyes wet but mouth still curled in a practiced sneer—proof that the footlights never tell the whole story. Look up "Guy Little Theatrical Photograph" to see Wyney’s trick of freezing the mask just as it slips.
