El Teatro Folly fue construido a principios del siglo XX y la idea original era que fuese un teatro de parodias y varieté. Sin embargo, durante el siglo siguiente, su desarrollo lo llevó a convertirse en unaa sala de entretenimientos vibrante y popular devota al jazz. De hecho, el teatro juega un papel vital en la comunidad del jazz y leyendas musicales como Dave Brubeck, George Shearing y Ravi Coltrane han pasado por su escenario. David Sanchez, Jane Monheir y Rene Marie son los locales que siguen manteniendo viva la tradición de los espectáculos en vivo de jazz. El Teatro Folly también presenta la famosa Folly Children's Series, que trae a Missouri compañías teatrales para niños de nivel nacional.
