The Folly Theater – Groundbreaking Ceremony

The Folly Theater has just begun the most extensive renovation project in its history. To celebrate, there was a Groundbreaking Ceremony on June 21st. Among the upcoming attractions are wider seats, an upgraded bar and restrooms on the balcony level, and, in order to help the stars shine, revitalized dressing rooms. Bought your tickets yet for the October 14th concert with New York Voices and the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra? That’s the opening night of the first show in the Folly’s 41st Jazz Season – and the first opportunity for visitors to see what’s new.
