Bethel Follies

The Bethel Follies is a triennial variety show, taking place in the years there is an ELCA Youth Gathering and serving as a fundraiser for it. (We call it a variety show, not a talent show, because we can guarantee variety but not talent!) We encourage Bethel members of all ages, and Bethel friends to perform – whether it be a dance, a skit, a song, juggling, reading a story, or almost anything else that can appropriately be done on or near a stage.

The 2024 Follies:

Bethel Follies 2024 will take place on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at 7 p.m. There is no admission fee, but there is a free will offering, with a suggested donation of $10-20. The deadline has passed (it was February 9) for people to sign up to perform. If you have any questions, contact Sherman Lee, Nathan Schroeder, or Jessica White.
