New York City's pre-eminent performing arts center made
the discovery in a dressing room of its David H. Koch Theater. It's the home of
the New York City Ballet and the New York City Opera.
The theater is currently dark. The opera's fall season
opens Oct. 27. The ballet company last occupied the building on Sunday.
Spokeswoman Maggie McKeon confirmed the outbreak. It was
first reported online on Wednesday by the New York Observer. It cited an Oct. 8
e-mail from the theater's managing director Mark Heiser. He said treatment to
rid the theater of the tiny pests was under way.
The bugs have been discovered in theaters, clothing
stores, office buildings, housing projects and posh apartments throughout the
city.
