A colorful vaudeville-style show awaits fans of live entertainment Saturday, May 22, when âPride Folliesâ takes center stage as a prelude to Juneâs annual Key West Pride festivities.
Showcasing prime talents from the islandâs performing arts community, âFolliesâ is reminiscent of an old-fashioned variety show or televisionâs vintage âEd Sullivanâs Toast of the Town.â The performance is slated for 8 p.m. Saturday at the Key West Theater at 512 Eaton St., a historic spot whose origin dates back to 1848.
The production is presented by the Key West Business Guild, which is currently in its 43rd year of promoting LGBTQ tourism to Key West, and benefits that organization. The not-for-profit guild also produces annual events including its signature Key West Pride, scheduled June 2-6.
