Folly Theater

The Story

Renovation-era stories at the Folly describe a man in a bowler hat, usually identified as former manager Joe Donegan. HauntedPlaces.org also recounts a woman in a long dress rushing toward the stage. Both figures fit the theater's backstage folklore rather than a single confirmed incident. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
