A Temporary Home for The Grand Oshkosh
As The Grand Oshkosh prepares for a major renovation, we are pleased to share that our programming will continue at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Theatre Arts Center during the construction period.
Beginning with the 2026-2027 season, The Grand will temporarily relocate performances, events, and patron services to UW–Oshkosh, ensuring that audiences can continue to enjoy the live entertainment, community events, and Grand experiences they know and love.
