Why our team enjoys working here

I love the Folly because it is packed with history, not just local history but legendary names recognized worldwide.  The Folly continues to make history too, bringing in iconic names in comedy, music, and performance.  The theater’s architecture reflects both a bygone era and a contemporary appeal that honors its roots. For those who haven’t experienced it yet, I would invite them to be our guest at a theater that has served as a cultural destination for 125 years.
Robert Gann, Business Development Manager
I love working at the Folly Theater because it’s such a small, tight-knit community of theater kids who are genuinely passionate about what they do. It may sound cliché, but it really does feel like a family. We celebrate each other’s accomplishments, whether that’s showing up for someone’s recital or getting together for a barbecue, and we’re always there to support one another through the hard times, too.
Cassidy Manetta, Director of Marketing & Communications
The Folly Theater is one of Kansas City’s most historic cultural treasures – a beautifully-restored nineteenth-century jewel-box theater that strives to build a healthier, stronger, more diverse, and more engaged community through the transformative power of the arts. Stewardship of the Folly’s resources has been a labor of love for me, and I am deeply grateful for the countless supporters who invest in the Folly’s mission and the endless possibilities of its future.
Brian Williams, Development Director
