Members had simply celebrated their fiftieth anniversary hours earlier than the destruction.

Candice Stewart, inventive director of the competition, surveyed the injury.

“That was fully smashed in. Doorways have been all gone. The worst half, they seemed to be having a celebration whereas doing it. There was confetti, social gathering poppers, blissful birthday taggings,” she stated.

“That is undoubtedly the primary time somebody has maliciously attacked the theater for no clear purpose,” added Robert Conrad, firm sound designer.

Redlands residents have come out to attempt to restore the injury and save the theatre’s season. In the meantime, the Redlands Police Division is investigating.

“Theatre individuals don’t get knocked down very fast. You come again and do the work… That’s what you gotta do,” stated Redlands resident Lee Fischer.

“They sent the police report saying a girl was assaulted while sleeping which is very frightening, especially for me as a young woman,” said Chantal de la Cruz, a UCLA student. “I’ve been living here for a year and the [crime] reports we usually get are burglary reports and they’re outside of the campus, so this is a huge shock for everybody. A lot of students don’t feel safe.”
