Before you go

Show times: Check Folly Theater for a real show on your night before relying on the timeline.

Hours, prices and reservations change. Anything we haven't recently source-checked is marked “Confirm today” in the planner rather than presented as fact. Check the venue's own page before you head out.

We last looked over this date on September 17, 2026. That is a review of the plan, not a promise that every detail is current.
