FAQ
When do I receive my tickets for a Folly Kids’ Series performance?
Tickets are not issued for Folly Kids’ Series performances. Seating is determined by Folly Staff and ushers based on an established seating map.
For homeschool/parent group not attending with a school, check-in at the Box Office when entering the building for your selected performance, and seating location will be arranged based off open locations on the map. If you have any special accommodation needs for accessibility, these must be provided in advance.
Can my school eat lunch on-site before or after a performance?
Unfortunately, the Folly does not have facilities available for school groups to each lunch on site. We can provide restroom facilities and provide suggestions for outdoor locations for lunch.
How do we obtain a refund if our school date is canceled?
Due to the varying weather policies of area schools and districts planning to attend a matinee, the Folly will attempt to reschedule a performance or gladly transfer a reservation to an alternate performance within the school year to the best of our availability. However, Refunds will only be issued in the case of a performance cancellation arranged by the Folly Theater.
