Audience members were quickly ushered out Sunday afternoon during the finale of "Cirque Dreams Holidaze" when the curtains began to smoke and catch fire.
Four fire units arrived to assist in securing the Mark C. Smith Concert Hall after stagehands extinguished the flames. Fans were used to clear out smoke.
Fire investigators deemed the incident was accidental. No injuries were reported.
Audience members were offered free seating at Sunday night's performance, which went on as scheduled.
