"One day after it was allegedly stolen, a moving truck storing "irreplaceable" sets and backdrops for an Ontario-wide tour of The Nutcracker has been recovered, according to the head of the ballet company. Someone stole Christmas, and now it's back on, Bengt Jorgen, artistic director and CEO for Jorgen Dance, told CBC Radio's Metro Morning Tuesday."
"The company had issued a public plea Monday for anyone who saw the 26-foot truck to report it to police, saying it contained the heart of our Ontario-wide holiday tour. Ballet Jorgen is set to perform the classic holiday ballet throughout late November and December to audiences everywhere from Burlington to Orillia to Ottawa."
"Jorgen said it would have been "a tough slog," and he's relieved the show will now be performed "exactly as it should be, with full sets and costumes opening for a full house. The company's general manager Stephen Word said previously security camera footage showed the company's rental storage truck was stolen around 3:30 a.m. Monday from where it was parked in Etobicoke."
A moving truck containing irreplaceable sets and backdrops for Ballet Jorgen's Ontario Nutcracker tour was recovered one day after it was reportedly stolen. The truck held the core scenery for performances scheduled across late November and December from Burlington to Orillia to Ottawa. The company had issued a public plea after security footage showed the rental storage truck taken around 3:30 a.m. Monday from a parked location in Etobicoke. Peel Regional Police located the truck in Brampton late Monday night. Community members offered to build replacement sets overnight, but recovery allowed shows to proceed with full sets and costumes.
