Lexington Children's Theatre Suffers Damage After Water Pipe Bursts

Lexington Children's Theatre has suffered thousands of dollars in damage after a water pipe burst on Sunday morning, LEX 18 reports.

"It had several computers in there. Lots of equipment to kind of communicate with the audience and keep our patrons informed. So, we're going to have to replace all of that equipment," said Jeremy Kisling, the theatre's producing and artistic director.

In addition to the water damage, steam got into the windows and walls.

"With the technology alone in that room, it's well over $5,000 and then we'll have the structural damage and the repairs as well, so it's going to be a pretty penny at the end of the day," said Kisling.
