October 16, 2006: Fire in Folger Shakespeare Library Delays Opening Night
"The damage from a fire Saturday morning at the Folger Shakespeare Library on Capitol Hill was contained to a third-floor, costume-storage area above the building's theater. "
"However, water- and smoke-related damage to the Folger Theatre and elsewhere in the east wing closed the building and will postpone by about a week the first performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," which was scheduled for Thursday. "
