Historic Flagler Playhouse Reduced to Ashes in Devastating Fire

The historic Flagler Playhouse, a performing arts theater in Central Florida, has been completely destroyed in a fire, according to officials. Firefighters attempted to extinguish the blaze but were forced to evacuate due to heavy smoke and flames. While some offices and another part of the building were saved, the performance area was lost. No injuries were reported. The Flagler Playhouse has been a staple in the community since 1978 and was scheduled to show "The Play That Goes Wrong" this Friday.
