From its early days, hosting vaudeville acts and silent films, to the present, staging cutting-edge performances, The GRAND has been a centre for artistic expression and cultural enrichment. Its walls echo with stories of the past, while its stage lights up with the innovative ideas of the present. The theatre continues to inspire and encourage local talents, cultivating a creative ethos that permeates through Calgary and beyond. As we turn the page on a new chapter in its illustrious history, The GRAND remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive, dynamic, and vibrant artistic community.
