Over the past several months, the Board of Directors of Franklin Opera House have tackled the need to replace the gold stage curtain which had served well for more than 15 years.
Through the generosity of private donors, a Go Fund Me campaign and large contributions from the Footlight Theatre Board, the FHS Players and the N.H. Charitable Foundation – and the work of a remarkable crew of volunteers – a beautiful new burgundy curtain has replaced the old, which has a lifetime fire retardancy rating. Volunteers included members of Footlight Theatre, Franklin High School drama students and members of the Opera House organization.
