Theatre goers at the Grand Theatre were given an unscheduled — and chilly — intermission.
Those in attendance for the “Elf” production were evacuated after reports of smoke on the 4th floor around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Once fire crews arrived, it was determined there wasn’t a fire.
Instead, officials believe ornaments on the Christmas tree on the fourth floor overheated, causing the smoke.
Firefighters stayed at the Grand for an hour to ensure there wasn’t a fire.
No smoke damage was reported, and no one was injured.
