Step back in time this June as we celebrate The 50th Grand Gala: Gilded Age! Join us for an elegant evening (black tie optional!) dripping in gold and infused with a historic theatrical flair. Kick off the night with an immersive cocktail hour as you explore the multi-level Grand Theatre lobby spaces and encounter golden photo opportunities and engaging entertainment. The evening continues with dinner on the 125-year-old Spriet Stage and impactful live performances featuring talent from the acclaimed Grand Theatre High School Project. Bid on exciting trips and unique items during the live auction and raise your paddle to honour 50 years of the Grand Gala, all to support the 2026 High School Project, School of Rock the Musical and our Make a Difference Campaign for Youth Programming.
