If you are attending your first performance at The Grand, here are some frequently asked questions to help make your experience more enjoyable.


What should I wear?
Although there is no dress code at the Grand Opera House, attending a performance is always a special occasion and most of our patrons enjoy dressing up a bit. Please use your best judgement and dress according to the performance you are attending -- a folk music concert is more casual than a classical chamber ensemble event. However, shorts and t-shirts are discouraged for any performance.

When should I arrive?
Every effort is made to begin all events on time. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the house manager when a suitable break in the performance occurs. To keep distractions to a minimum, latecomers may be placed in available seating and will have the opportunity to move to their reserved seats during an intermission. If you need to leave your seat at any time during a performance, please do so at an appropriate break.

How long is a typical performance?
Program length varies, but a typical Grand Opera House performance lasts approximately two hours and often includes one intermission. If you need to know how long a specific performance will last, call The Box Office at (920) 424-2350 for an estimated length.

Can I bring my cellular phone?
Telephone equipment should be checked with the house manager prior to entering the auditorium. Patrons wearing alarm watches and/or electronic paging systems are requested to turn them off before entering the theater. If emergency notification might be required, the House Manager contact number is (920) 424-2354. Leave that number with those who may need to reach you, along with your exact seat location (section, row and seat number).

Can I take pictures?
Cameras as well as other recording devices can create major distractions for the artists and audience members around you, in addition to violating copyright laws. As a result, no cameras, video equipment or tape recorders are permitted. All equipment should be checked with the house manager prior to entering the theater.

Can I bring my children?
Events that are considered appropriate for any age are indicated on our 2006-07 Season event listing. Although children of all ages are welcome at most Grand Opera House performances, parents should use their best judgement when bringing a child to any event. Every child two years of age and older must have a ticket.
