What performing arts venues are some of the oldest in the Kansas City
metropolitan area? There’s the Gem Theater that opened in 1912 as the
Star before being renamed in 1913. How about the original Midland which
opened in 1927? A few months later in early January 1928, the Uptown
Theater opened. A more rough-and-tough venue, Memorial Hall, opened in
1925. Then there’s the art deco looks of the 1936 Municipal Auditorium
and the adjoining Music Hall. However, the grand dame of all these
buildings is the Folly Theater, 112 years old and the recipient of
recent facility improvements, and soon, a new marquee sign.
