The Grand is more than just a theater. The Community Engagement Series pushes the performing arts from the stage out into the community, helping to fulfill The Grand's mission to ENTERTAIN, EDUCATE, and ENRICH the community.
Community events like free concerts, workshops, dance classes, film screenings, pop-up exhibits, lectures, and more create opportunities for audience members to connect with performances in new and exciting ways.
