Stage show on the Showboat Branson Belle THE BEST OF BRANSON The Duttons have officially reopened their show for the 2022 season from the stage of the Yakov Smirnoff Theater in Branson. Due to a structure fire at their Branson venue on July 13, The Dutton Family Theatre was forced to shut down for repairs for the rest of the year. While the theater is being worked on, The Duttons were invited by Smirnoff to join him at his theater for the rest of the year. The fire started in a trash can sitting outside the front of the Dutton theater. Flames quickly worked their way up the corner column of the building before entering into the crawl space, facade and roof of the theater. Even though the fire was extinguished quickly, fire, water and smoke damage was left throughout the entire facility. In the weeks since the incident, the family have been waiting to receive estimates on the damage and making plans for how long it would take to make the theater once again safe for performers and guests. CEO and Technical Director Timothy Dutton said the initial hope was the fire damage would only be minimal and they could reopen the theater within a month or two. "The deeper we get into this project, however, the more problems we find—especially the amount of smoke damage that went through the whole building, even the parts of the building farthest away from the actual fire," Dutton said. "It soon became essential to find a new location to host our show for the remainder of the season. We are so grateful to Yakov for offering to host us and we are delighted to be going into such a beautiful location." The Duttons have resumed performing their regular show which will run though Oct 31; before they switch over to their Christmas show, which will run from Nov. 1 to Dec. 14. Re-construction and clean-up of the fire and smoke damaged Dutton Family Theater will continue through the fall and winter, with a scheduled reopening date of April 2023.
