Venue Information

Theater in Wausau, Wisconsin The Grand Theater is a historic theater and performing arts center in Wausau, Wisconsin, offering a variety of musical and artistic performances.[1] The Grand Theater traces its origins back to the Grand Opera House, which was originally built on the same location in 1899.[2] The 890-seat opera house was a popular venue for musical and theatrical acts. The block where it stood has been considered an "arts block" ever since. When the opera house was demolished in the spring of 1927, construction began on the current Grand Theater, a movie palace built in the classic revival architectural style. Today, the Grand Theater stands as a regional performing arts center for the Wausau area, and the greater region of central Wisconsin.
