The Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center was briefly evacuated Saturday due to a fire alarm that sounded during a show.
Crews were called to the venue about 8:40 p.m. after a fire alarm started going off during a showing of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone concert.
The show started at 7:30 p.m.
Workers at the venue, which seats more than 2,700 people, ushered guests outside as firefighters investigated.
No fire was found, Orlando Fire Department spokeswoman Ashley Papagni said.
Photos from outside the venue show hundreds waiting before they were allowed back inside about 9:30 p.m.
The venue posted to Twitter that they “apologize for the inconvenience” and were waiting for more details as to what led to the incident.
