Theater Fire Gives Gospel Group a Scare
This could have been pretty ugly: It was a real scare at the 160 year old Majestic Theatre in downtown Chillicothe. A fire broke out in the stage area inside the theatre and firefighters say a hot lamp caught the stage curtain on fire. It was put out quickly but two people were treated for breathing in too much smoke. A gospel singing group was performing at the time of the fire and many people got out safely. The Majestic Theatre was built in the mid 1800′s and became a medical ward for injured Civil War soldiers stationed at nearby Camp Sherman. The group was The Nelons , a family group I’ve worked with a number of times in Rockport, TX, and years ago here in the Los Angeles area. Three of the members were treated for smoke inhalation, but everybody’s okay.
