The big theatre news of the day is semi-tragic: Greenwood's Taproot Theatre was damaged last night in a fire that tore through several restaurants and cafes. It remains to be seen the extent of the damage to the theatre itself, but Taproot spent most of the morning desperately searching for a new venue for this weekend's sold-out run of Enchanted April. The good news is that Seattle Children's Theatre has come through. Though tonight's show has been canceled, tomorrow's shows at 2 and 8 p.m. are on, according to TPSOnline.

There's also a campaign to help the theatre with repair costs that's being called the 20/40 Campaign, in reference to the company's address (204 N. 85th): the company is asking local arts supporters to donate $20.40 to help them out. You can do so online here.
