LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) — Another business in the Las Vegas Arts District has been burglarized as thieves made off with about $10,000 in laptop computers and musical equipment from Majestic Repertory Theatre, according to the theater’s artistic director.
It’s at least the fifth burglary reported this year by businesses in the Arts District. Previously, Atomic Style Lounge, Tacotarian ( twice ), Fresa’s Skate Shop and Dig it Coffee were hit. The theater is directly across Main Street from Good Pie, a popular pizza place that was targeted by copper thieves in September.
Troy Heard said he went to the theater on Christmas Day and discovered the break-in. The theater is currently dark for the holidays, but Heard said he’s there every day.
He said the theater’s back door was open, but he couldn’t tell how thieves got the door open. Heard said he would likely file a police report on Thursday. The theater has created a GoFundMe to help recover the lost gear .
“I don’t have the energy to be angry,” Heard said. Majestic Repertory Theatre is working on a production of Cabaret. Now, there are a lot of unknowns.
