The Grand Theatre is a cultural icon in London and, as one of nine Category A theatres in the country, it is recognized nationally as a cultural leader. We take great pride in providing top-notch entertainment to London and Southwestern Ontario residents, offering family entertainment, musicals and comedies each season. Along with this entertainment, the theatre provokes thought through its dramas, both current and classical. The performing arts provide a forum for presenting issues that inspire those watching to think critically about their environment. Social issues, such as racism and gender discrimination, as well as the complex human dynamics found in families and relationships are presented in a forum that shows, not tells - the most powerful form of explanation.
