Thank you to the many friends of the Folly who joined us at the 2022 Folly Garden party! More information regarding next year’s event will be made available in early 2023.
Every year our Development Director, Brian Williams, hosts the Folly Garden Party in the garden of his historic Hyde Park Home to help raise funds for the Folly Theater’s general operations fund. These funds are used to help pay for the operation and maintenance of the historic theater, book internationally acclaimed artists for the Folly Jazz Series, and much more.
Guests will be met with a picnic basket full of fried chicken and other picnic fares from Anne’s Catering, refreshing beverages, and live jazz music provided by Luck20 Jazz Quartet among the blooms. Join us for a fabulous afternoon of conversation and “cheers” in honor of our late friend C. Stephen Metzler & the Folly Theater.
The Folly thanks our generous 2022 Underwriters & Sponsors!
