Benefitting the mission and programs of the nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation, Bend Follies is a lighthearted, fast-paced comedy show starring prominent business, civic and entertainment leaders showing off their singing, dancing and joke-telling skills. Enjoy two nights of comedy starring local civic, business, education, and media personalities performing sketches and singing parodies. In an effort to put some “fun” back in “fundraising,” the Follies are the Tower’s major event celebrating and underwriting the important role the nonprofit venue plays in the cultural life of Central Oregon. Both evenings include silent and live auctions, opportunities for audience members to use cash, checks and credit cards to “vote” for their favorite act to receive a “Gratuitous Standing Ovation”, food and drinks, and the show.
