The MAPSO FAMILY FOLLIES was such a smashing success, we’re doing it again—and hopefully, this time with you! Save-the-date for this year’s sold-out, standing-room-only, smiling and cheering crowd at The Woodland on Thursday, November 21st. Start those wheels turning, you’ve got time (auditions are October 9th). Join creative forces with your siblings, two best friends, or your grandma—the FOLLIES loves multi-generational acts. Do you work at a local business? Gather employees together and sing! Have you rehearsed an act for a school performance? Great, do that! The more the merrier, we always say, and the more creative, the better. This isn’t a contest but a community talent show. It’s low-key, old-timey fun!
