Lavish, colorful, folksy, and funny, THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES follows the career of humorist Will Rogers, told in the style of a Ziegfeld Follies production. The photos below are from several productions, but costumes pictured were originally created for the Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theatre regional premiere production. We have a complete wardrobe, including the required giant feather fans and patriotic tamborine hats.
