Folly Theater – Eat, Drink, and Be Jolly for the Folly

Brian Williams opened the garden of his lovely home for the ninth annual Eat, Drink, and Be Jolly for the Folly. The Ben Tervort Trio was on hand to play jazz. Picnic baskets featuring fried chicken were a hit with the guests. Proceeds are designated to go to the Folly Theater’s general operations fund, which helps preserve the historic venue, books artists for the Folly Jazz Series and the Folly Americana Series, and much more.
