Join us for the Grand Reveal! The historic Folly Theater is unveiling its $4.2 million renovations with “Shake, Rattle & Roll: A Celebration of the Folly Theater”.

Building on 122 years of presenting exceptional musical entertainment at the corner of 12th and Central, the Folly is proud to opens its doors to the community in this one-of-a-kind concert. We’re celebrating Kansas City’s storied jazz and roots music heritage by bringing together two beloved Kansas City-based bands: Fred Wickham Caravan and Grand Marquis.

Special musical guests include Sly James, former mayor of Kansas City, MO; Julia Haile; Maria the Mexican; and Millie Edwards. KCUR “Fish Fry” host Chuck Haddix will be guest emcee.

Tickets are $15 for adults. Complimentary student and child (2-12) tickets are available.

Proceeds benefit Midwest Music Foundation, a Kansas City nonprofit that provides healthcare assistance, education and career development and other resources to Kansas City area musicians.
