The live experience

What reaches the room

Welcome to the Cedar Rapids Follies performer page—a tribute to a beloved, volunteer-driven song-and-dance revue that thrilled Cedar Rapids audiences for years. Originating as an annual community production, the Follies brought together hundreds of volunteers aged 8–75 under the creative leadership of Damon Cole and Alisabeth Von Presley. While the group officially ended its long-running run in 2019, its legacy lives on in community memory, scholarship programs, and ongoing local theatre conversations.
