With the reopening in 1981, the Folly became a cornerstone of the community, hosting some of the world’s foremost performers of the time including Ailey Dance, Itzhak Perlman, Gregory Hines, Dave Brubeck. On occasion, a burlesque or vaudeville show would take the stage, an accepting nod to the Folly’s bawdy history. Reopening on November 10, with the production of the comedy “Room Service.”
