Folly Photo Gallery

The Folly Photo Gallery contains photos of the beautiful interior and exterior spaces of Kansas City's oldest theater. It also contains photos of some of the operational spaces that the public never sees. Take a glance through history: the original proscenium arch, the fly spaces designed by Louis Curtiss, the 1981 renovation, and our public spaces.

INSIDE THE AUDITORIUM

The Shubert family redesigned the interior in 1923 to what the public sees today. The ornate plasterwork was highlighted by the Evergreene Studios as part of our Centennial renovation in the summer of 2000.
