How to resolve AdBlock issue? KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A local theater company is asking for the community’s help in tracking down its stolen sound equipment as it prepares to open its latest production later this month.
Sometime during the past two weeks thousands of dollars’ worth of sound equipment was taken from the Gard Street School cafeteria in Kelseyville, the new location for the Lake County Theatre Co., according to the group’s president, Barbara Clark.
The company is fresh off of a successful production of “Miracle on 34th Street,” and is preparing later this month to open “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” according to Clark.
Clark said the theater company had a meeting on Jan. 14, at which time all of the equipment was in place.
On Wednesday, company members discovered that four speakers plus a sound board and mixer were missing, she said.
They didn’t report the equipment as being stolen right away in order to check to see if any members of the company had borrowed it, she said.
On Thursday, she said, they concluded the speakers and sound board had been stolen after no one reported having it.
Clark said theater company members are meeting with sheriff’s deputies on Friday to make the theft report.
She estimated it will cost $1,000 to replace the speakers and she hasn’t priced out what a new sound board will cost, but it’s a large amount for the small company.
“We’re hoping nothing else is missing,” Clark said.
In her six years with the theater company, Clark said nothing like this has happened before.
“We’re just hoping to get our stuff back,” she said.
Clark asked anyone with information about the stolen equipment to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-262-4200.
