Silent Movie Comedy Festival
Saturday, August 12 at 7 PM
Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium

Due to the popularity of the Buster Keaton silent movie shorts and the availability of Ludlow summer resident and pianist, Glenn Brown, FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) will offer a special treat on Saturday, August 12 at 7 PM in the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium - a special silent movie comedy festival.

The event will feature a series of Buster Keaton silent movie shorts with Glenn Brown at the upright grand piano providing the background music to support the comic actions on the screen.

"It will be an unforgettable evening of comedy with Buster Keaton bringing his rip roaring antics to Ludlow for Silent Movie Night with local performer Glenn Brown, the Piano Man, tickling the ivories!", noted FOLA chairman, Ralph Pace.

The Keaton comedy shorts are about 20 minutes in length and feature the comedic (and often acrobatic) talents of the foremost comedian in the silent movie era.

The silent movie night is open to everyone and is free; donations are appreciated. Berkshire Bank will supply the popcorn with water provided by FOLA. For information, call (802) 228-7239 or visit the FOLA web site, www.fola.us.
