The Grand announces first set of indoor performances

Posted

WILMINGTON — After a closure of 467 days, The Grand Opera House in Wilmington announced their first set of live indoor performances Tuesday beginning in September. This announcement also celebrates the building’s 150th birthday on Dec. 22, which will be celebrated over the course of three months.

The Grand is set to bring popular national acts such as comedians Brian Regan and Lewis Black, internet comedic sensation Vic DiBitetto, TV’s Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Kate Flannery (“The Office”), Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles (“hose Line Is It Anyway?”).

Musically, the season will also bring the return of Straight No Chaser, Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, The Temptations, and Storm Large (recently seen on “America’s Got Talent”).

After more than a year of an entire industry shut down, artists and venues are starting to schedule performances again, but the re-emergence of indoor shows will be gradual. By the time The Grand opens for its first currently scheduled performance, it will have been 563 days since an audience sat in one of their three theaters.

The Grand will hold a venue presale from Wednesday through July 5, allowing subscribers, donors, and current audience members to purchase tickets before the general public. Tickets can be purchased online  or by calling 302-652-5577.

Tickets to the general public will go on sale July 6 at 10 a.m. (except for Straight No Chaser, December ’63, and HYPROV).
