Your Generosity Matters
Support the Folly experience today. Your generosity will ensure the Folly’s intimate performances are available to audiences now and for years to come. Please give generously. Your tax-deductible contribution will help maintain the Folly for future generations to enjoy.
The “Grand Lady of 12th Street” kindles the creative spark of imagination and provides an artistic home where dreams become memories. We need your help to set Kansas City’s passion for the Folly spinning again.
This July, we will replace all the theater seats; refinish the hardwood floors; replace the carpet, drapes, and lobby chandeliers; reinvigorate the balcony lobby; and refresh the dressing rooms. Help us welcome a new dawn for this iconic theater, where Kansas City’s past, present, and future converge to create extraordinary arts experiences.
We have raised over 90% of the $4 million required to complete this project, but we need your help. Will you help raise the curtain on a brighter future for the Folly?

Arts supporters: Put your name down in history! Announcing the Folly’s Seat Naming Campaign! As a part of our endowment efforts, which has surpassed $2.5 million thus far, this initiative allows individuals and companies to write their name down in history (and metal) and show their support of the Folly Theater and the growth of the arts in Kansas City. We have a bit to go to reach our second phase goal of five million dollars, but that can be done with your support!
A Folly Theater seat, inscribed with your name, a loved one’s name, your business, or in memoriam, creates a lasting legacy. Your tax-deductible contribution to name a seat will be celebrated by family, friends, peers, and the community. Most importantly, your contribution ensures the sustainability of the Folly to serve many generations yet to come.
Ready to put your name down in Kansas City history as a pillar of society? Give us a call! Reach out to Brian Williams, Director of Development, by phone at 816-768-6886 ext. 102 or email him. He will gladly walk you through the process, your options, and even tour the seats with you so you know where your seat will sit in history.

The Folly Theater’s legacy is only possible through the generous donations of our donors and patrons. Through community and individual giving, the Folly continues to thrive as Kansas City’s oldest theater. The Folly will continue to showcase artists and productions that enrich the lives of Kansas Citians and will be more than gracious to receive monies in support of this effort.
