The Snowdown Follies will appear at the Diamond Circle Theater and the new Durango Arts Center Theater at the corner of E. Second Avenue and Eighth Street. The venue change follows the closure of the AJ's Grill Theater, formerly the Abbey Theater, where the first Follies debuted in 1984. In the meantime, Follies organizers are getting ready for the 1998 show at the Durango Arts Center. There's more room backstage for the cast, and the audience will have more room, too. More than 1,400 tickets for cabaret seating will be offered at the two theaters this year.
Casts start the show simultaneously at each theater, then switch theaters at intermission.
The annual Follies Gala will be at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29. Patron tables have the best location in the house, Fiedler said. Call 247-8164 to reserve a patron table. To be eligible for the drawing, patrons must be a live, adult human 18 years of age or older. Children, dogs, birds, fish, insects, furniture and fixtures no longer qualify.
