Young and Grand Theatre Festival for Young Audiences

Workshops, music, storytelling, and three unforgettable shows set to jump-start a love of theatre! 

Join us in March 2027 for Young & GRAND: a festival featuring workshops, music, storytelling and 3 unforgettable productions set to inspire, entertain, and jump-start a love of theatre! Perhaps it will be an exciting journey of puppets, animals, and animation; an immersive retelling of the stories of Robert Munsch; or an interactive board game-meets-live theatre experience. Whatever the adventure, whatever the age, there is something GRAND in store for each of our young audience members at the Grand Theatre’s new theatre festival for young audiences.
