Silent Film Series
featuring pianist Jeff Rapsis
Enjoy classic silent films on the big screen in Fairlee Town Hall auditorium. Just like the early 1900s, we'll have a piano player (experienced silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis) to provide a musical backdrop for these classic movies.
Pianist Jeff Rapsis has a website with more information about his work and schedule.
This is an experience you can't get at home via streaming, so join us in Fairlee for a fun time. Like our other FCA programs, they're free of charge (donations always welcome to help defray costs) and open to all. There may even be popcorn!

'Our Hospitality' (1923) starring Buster Keaton. Silent comic Buster Keaton's film about a backwoods feud in the 1830s pokes fun at everything from southern customs to early railroad trains. Filled with great gags and a timeless story that culminates in a dramatic river rescue in which Buster almost lost his life for real! Lauded by critics as one of Buster's best mixes of visual comedy, compelling drama, and exciting action!

The FCA Summer Music Series brings people together on the town common in beautiful Fairlee, Vermont, for family-friendly entertainment on Tuesday evenings in July and August from 6:30-8:00pm. All concerts are free of charge.
Each person who attends the concert gets a ticket for a chance to win prizes donated by local businesses. Those who choose to do so can purchase 50/50 raffle tickets for a chance to win cash while helping to support the series (which costs more than $10,000 annually to produce).
Concerts are presented rain or shine. You may wish to bring a folding chair or blanket to enjoy the outdoor concert in comfort. In the event of rain, the concert will be held inside the air-conditioned Fairlee Town Hall auditorium.
The series is funded by local businesses and individuals. Technical sound support is provided by Jim Beaulieu. We hope you will join us on the town common for some great music!
