Went to the Halloween showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show which was a blast. Everyone was following social distancing and masked up. We all had a blast. Thank you for hosting a great event!

Grand Opera House has delightful entertainment. We saw the Neverly Brothers and they were awesome performing music and history from Elvis to the Beatles. Proud of the talent thats offered at the Grand, from plays to live music. Thanks to all involved for giving us a grand time!!

Beautiful theater built in 1890, lovingly renovated into a wonderful community asset!

Lovely venue that is as old as time. I have attended many shows and think the acoustics are spot on. I also like closer seating for a more intimate view of performances.I wish the seating was a little more roomy and comfortable but I can sympathize with the challenges to change what is already their. The bathrooms could be a little more easily accessible for anyone with trouble walking but again, these sort of things where not thought about when the building was first constructed.They bring in great shows often and are very moderately priced. Do yourself a favor and see one.
