EAST AURORA, N.Y. — Emergency crews responded to the Aurora Theatre at 673 Main Street in the Village of East Aurora on Sunday following a ceiling collapse inside the historic building while students and chaperones were present.

Officials said construction activity inside the two-story brick structure led to a portion of the ceiling giving way during a scheduled event.

At the time of the incident, approximately 68 students and adult chaperones were inside the theater.

First responders confirmed there was no entrapment and the collapse was limited in scope.

Emergency Medical Services evaluated six pediatric patients for minor injuries at the scene. No serious injuries were reported.
