For Immediate Release

Maidment Fire

A fire broke out this afternoon at Maidment Theatre.

Auckland Theatre Company has had brief contact with the staff at the theatre. Thankfully, they all evacuated safely.

The Company is due to open Dean Parker's Midnight In Moscow starring Robyn Malcolm at the theatre next week.

The company will wait until it is officially briefed tomorrow regarding the situation before it makes a call about the season.

At this point the Company is continuing with business as usual and still expect to run the season as planned.

The Company will release more information at it comes to hand.

Parker's play opened at Christchurch's Court Theatre and ran for two performances before the season was cut short by the devastating 2011 February earthquake.
