Bridge Clinic Community Engagement Series

SERIES PRESENTER

The Grand is more than just a theater. The Bridge Clinic 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 dance classes, film screenings, pop-up exhibits, lectures, and more create opportunities for audience members to connect with performances in new and exciting ways.

Check back throughout the Season to see what unique events we're planning!

No matter your schedule or your skill level, The Grand's Insta-Choir is the perfect "ensemble" for anyone who just wants to sing out!
