Australia’s La Mama Theatre Destroyed By Fire, Plans To Rebuild

The venue, in the trendy Carlton neighborhood of Melbourne, burned early Saturday morning. The fire commander said, “What’s really sad about this, it’s a heritage listed building, it’s well-loved, it’s been a business that’s operated in the community for a really long time and that’s evident by the scenes out in the street with a lot of people crying, a lot of people very emotional about the loss of this icon.”
