A leading cultural hub, The Grand is proudly located in the heart of downtown London, Ontario. It is a place for all Londoners, for everyone, to gather, celebrate, and be inspired by exceptional theatre experiences.
They bring the world to London with diverse, relevant, and original stories from around the globe, and through collaborations with exceptional national and international performing arts organizations.
They bring London to the world stage with a commitment to developing, producing, and premiering new and original stories through COMPASS, their new play development program. In partnership with artists and playwrights from around the world and around the corner, The Grand presents relevant, provocative and entertaining stories that remind us of our collective humanity.
The Grand's commitment to educational programming and youth mentorship is exemplified by The High School Project, the only project of its kind in North America. An award-winning community outreach initiative launched as part of the 2017-18 Season, 100 Schools, demonstrates their commitment to engage children at the youngest ages to all aspects of live theatre.
A not-for-profit regional theatre, the Grand produces and presents professional theatre on two stages: the Spriet Stage (839 seats) and the Auburn Stage (144 seats). The Grand season runs from September to May with a subscription series on both stages.
