An historic reunion of the Andrew Warde and Roger Ludlowe high school classes of 1960 through 1970 has been planned for Friday, September 10, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Fairfield Theatre Company on Sanford Street.The party offers alumni an opportunity to dine, drink, dance, and reconnect with old friends from the classes of 1960 through 1970 from both Warde and Ludlowe. The cost of the event is $100 per ticket, which includes an open bar, hot and cold hors'doeuvres, and headline entertainment.
"One of our members, Jim Gilleran, went to Ludlowe (Class of '65), and suggested we hold a class reunion here," said Miles Marek, FTC producing director. "It was too great an idea to pass up." Never a man to think small, Marek suggested FTC hold a weekend-long, non-stop party and open it to everyone in town.The weekend opens on Friday night with a dance party featuring food, open bar, and a concert with the Jay Stollman Band, followed by Chad and Jeremy, the British duo famous for hits songs "A Summer Song" and "Before and After." All reunion attendees are encouraged to come and mingle with their old friends.
The party continues Saturday, September 11, with an all-day arts and food festival, The Flavors of Fairfield, at FTC and Sanford Street. The festival, the first of its kind at FTC, will offer food from dozens of Fairfield's finest restaurants as well as art from local talent curated by the Fairfield Arts Council. Registered reunion attendees have access and discounts to vendors.The Beatles Tribute Band, The Fab Faux, is scheduled at The Klein Memorial Auditorium at 7 o'clock that evening. The Fab Faux is an 11-piece band which plays the entire catalogue. "Who in the sixties did not grow up with the Beatles?" asked Gilleran. "They were the biggest thing since Cheerios. It's something we all have in common," he added.
Proceeds from the event will benefit FTC, a not-for-profit arts center. For more information, please visit the FTC Web site by clicking on the banner above.
