Welcome to The Fool Volk!
We strive to create, expand, and distort art with the understanding that silliness goes hand in hand with change.
We make theatre that takes full advantage of the medium: puppets, tasks, liquids, interaction, time etc.
A fool's ambition is to save the world
It’s opening night!

Take Me to Dollywood is a new full-length collage of scenes and experiments with a Queer Southern twang. On a porch in the south, a faceless Dolly Parton haunts the stage as characters find themselves
on the edge of relationships, sexuality, and reality. A woman has eaten her hand, a sexy gummy bear
awaits certain death, two men meet for a hook-up, a boss rummages through his employees’ desks, and
the playwright details his sex life.
