We're celebrating 50 years in style... 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.  Then, experience the Gilded Age on our historical stage, built in 1901, with a 3-course dinner, impactful live performances featuring the impressive talent from our acclaimed Grand Theatre High School Project participants. Later, bid on exciting trips and unique items during the live auction and raise your paddle to honour 50 years of the Grand Gala, all in support of the 2026 High School Project: School of Rock and our Make a Difference Campaign for Youth Programming.
