Renovations Underway at Grand Theater in Wausau
Monday, May 18th, 2026 -- 8:00 AM
(Wisconsin Radio Network) Renovations are underway at the century-old Grand Theater in Wausau.
According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Executive Director Sean Wright says the project will secure the Grand’s future and attract shows that might otherwise pass by a market like Wausau, with upgrades to technology with new lighting positions for Broadway shows and some rigging and audio-visual enhancements throughout the theater.
The centerpiece of the 17-million-dollar project is the theater space itself, which will be more comfortable and welcoming. Wright says they still need to raise about three million dollars to cover the improvements. The first show in the remodeled venue is scheduled for November 7th.
