The Folly Theater is a historic performing arts center located in the heart of downtown Kansas City. Originally opened in 1900 as the Standard Theatre, it underwent significant renovations and was renamed The Folly in 1909 following a public naming contest. Throughout its history, the theater has hosted a wide array of performances including vaudeville acts, silent films, and live music concerts. In 1988, after facing potential demolition, it was restored to its former grandeur through a community fundraising effort and now operates as a non-profit venue dedicated to presenting national and local performing artists. The building’s architecture reflects elements of Beaux-Arts style and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
