"It's Curtains" For Ludlow Auditorium!

Since FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) decided to show recently-released and classic family-oriented films in the Ludlow Auditorium of Town Hall, one problem has beset them: How do you show movies in a large room with massive windows when it is light outside? Thanks to the ingenuity of Chrisandra's, Ludlow well-known interior decoration specialist, along with the efforts of David Almond, FOLA's pointman to resolve the problem and Ludlow Town Manager Frank Heald, the problem was resolved with especially designed window shades for the balcony and main floor windows. The custom designed vinyl shades, in a color to complement the interior walls of the auditorium, were purchased by FOLA for the town and installed recently. Pictured above is, from left to right, Kevin Zaloudek, owner of The Blind Man who did the installation, Frank Heald, and David Almond as they examine one of the specially-designed 19 curtains that will enable FOLA to show movies even when the sun is shining brightly outside. The installation of the curtains was completed just in time since FOLA has scheduled it first full-length movie, The March of the Penguins, for Thursday, April 7 at 7:30 PM in the auditorium.
