For over 130 years, every dollar has made a difference.
History The Grand, built in 1883, is the oldest operating live performance theater in Wisconsin and is an important part of Oshkosh history.
“The object of art is to give life shape.” -William Shakespeare
Every child. Every grade. Every year.™ One of the main missions of The Grand is to expose our community to the performing arts: one child at a time. Every child deserves the opportunity, regardless of circumstance, to see a live performance and invite the arts into their lives. Through our Student Discovery Series, we have made this dream a reality for 150,000 students and counting!
