Muckenthaler Center's Facebook

A view of yesterday's damage

Apparently someone out there has a burning desire to fuck with the Muck. A fire was set atthe Muckenthaler Cultural Center outdoor amphitheater in Fullerton on Monday, resultingin major damages and loss of historic property. The incident is under investigation.

This is actually the 7th suspicious fire at the Muck in the last month, according to FullertonBattalion Chief John Stokes. Damages from the blaze include the loss of a newlyrefurbished Yamaha piano-- original to the Muckenthaler family ($12,000 value), burnedtheater curtains, $1,500 worth of damages to the stage dance floor, and over $5,000 indamages to a donated passenger van that was used to transport art supplies.Approximately $25,000 in damage total, according to a statement released by the centeryesterday evening.

The suspected arsonist attacks are primarily targeted at the stage area, which is moreremote in comparison to the main part of the house and park area. Recently installedcameras put up after the last set of fires reveal a suspect on video-- a White or Hispanicfemale with a red T-shirt, jeans, baseball cap on backwards and white backpack.

It's hard to say what the motive could be at this point. A disgruntled actor? A boredfirebug? Someone with a deep-seated hatred for community theater? Previous attacks haveled to fires in garden carts, trash cans, props and scenery store behind the stage, apassenger van and now the piano storage shed. The Muck is asking that if you have anyinformation please alert the police.
