The Grand 2015 Holiday Campaign

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!

Producers Circle All monetary donations, large and small, are tax deductible and will help to keep The Grand educating, entertaining and inspiring our community for generations to come!

To show our appreciation for all you do to support The Grand, any donation of $500 or more entitles you to membership in our Producers Circle. When you become a member, you not only help us raise the necessary funds to sustain the operation of The Grand, you also will receive exclusive invitations to attend special Producers Circle events not open to the general public and experience Wisconsin’s oldest operating theater in a fresh new light!

It costs

$1,000,000 to keep The Grand heated and cooled, lighted and cleaned, staffed, programmed, and ready to serve our community.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

-Winston Churchill
