KEY WEST, Florida — A colorful vaudeville-style show awaits fans of live entertainment Saturday, June 21, when “Pride Follies” takes center stage as a prelude to June’s annual Key West Pride festivities.

Showcasing prime talents from the island’s performing arts community, “Follies” is reminiscent of an old-fashioned variety show or television’s vintage “Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town.” The performance is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Key West Theater at 512 Eaton St., a historic spot whose origin dates back to 1848.

The production is presented by the Key West Business Guild, which is currently in its 46th year of promoting LGBTQ travel to Key West, and benefits that organization. The not-for-profit guild also produces annual festivals including its signature Key West Pride, scheduled June 5-9.

"Pride Follies" is directed and hosted by Erin McKenna, the very first Miss Island Queen and local realtor Dominic Paoillo. Organizers report that acts are to range from comedy to vocals to dancing.

Doors are to open at 6 p.m. ahead of the 7 p.m. curtain. The Key West Theater offers full bar service and seating both downstairs and on an upper mezzanine.
