Theater Curtain Presentation
and Annual Board Meeting June 27th
As part of
our efforts to support the restoration of the Town Hall theater
curtains, especially the View From the Rhine theater curtain
created by the Charles Huiest Studio of Troy, NY in 1890, there
will be a slide presentation by Christine Hadsel, Project Director,
Painted Theater Curtains of Vermont starting at 5PM Wednesday,
June 27th in The Town Hall on Middletown Road. Her efforts
in directing the project have received national and international
recognition, since 1996 when she procured a grant from the
National Trust. To date 111 curtains out of the 177 in Vermont
have been conserved and restored on site. Come
learn more about these Vermont treasures and how you might
help restore them to their former glory.
Following
the presentation there will be a short break and our annual
business meeting, approving the minutes of the last meeting,
reviewing the Treasurer’s Report, nominating
officers and addressing such other business as the membership
wishes, will be held.
Please join us for refreshments after our meeting.
