OPENING AS A MOVIE THEATRE WITH THE PREMIERE IF I’M LUCKY IN 1946, THE LUDLOW THEATRE BOASTED AN ART DECO DESIGN AND SERVED AS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR YEARS WITH EVENING SHOWS, MATINEES AND FEATURES.Β  THE BUILDING ENDURED MANY TRANSITIONS AFTER ITS POSTWAR HEYDAY AND EVENTUALLY OPERATED AS A CLUTCH MANUFACTURING PLANT FOR OVER TWO DECADES UNTIL 2009. THAT YEAR PAUL AND RENEE MILLER, HUSBAND AND WIFE AND CREATORS OF CIRCUS MOJO, PURCHASED THE BUILDING WITH THE BACKING OF TWO BENEVOLENT UNCLES AND THE VISION OF RESTORING THE THEATRE AS A UNIQUE VENUE WITH BROAD APPEAL.

Since 2010, over 500,000 people have attended the Ludlow Theatre’s events from beer releases to concerts and circus shows to square dances, pro-wrestling matches and improv comedy. Performers from 41 countries–Antigua to Australia, Ghana to Germany, Indonesia to Israel, and Suriname to Sudan–have visited Ludlow to perform with Circus Mojo & the Bircus Brewing Co. Highlights include: Celebrity Circus and Benefit with Jerry Springer, Operation Grace White Benefit, Playhouse in the Park’s Off the Hill productions,Β  Holiday screenings of It’s a Wonderful Life, concerts, circus festivals, corporate team building, Circus Supper Club and more.Β
