Future

Upon completion, the Grand Theater will provide a wealth of entertainment options to Garrard and surrounding Counties. The Grand will be a non-profit entity, and as such, it will be available to the community in many ways. More quaint than today’s massive multi-plexes, yet refurbished with today’s state of the art production equipment, the Grand can offer the playwright’s stage and the silver screen alike. Gospel sings and bluegrass groups will electrify the night, and plays performed by traveling shows or local talent will have audiences applauding on their feet. Classic films will take us back to a bygone era, and seasonal sounds from area orchestras will delight. The Grand will be available for businesses to gather and listen to speakers, or available to local churches for hymn sings. The possibilities are endless, and the opportunity to transform the dilapidated Grand Theater into something special is at our fingertips.

The Grand Theater has the potential to be a hub of activity for Garrard County. Attracting crowds in the 300-400 people range (the new Theater will most likely seat 400 comfortably) would stimulate local business and open up the opportunity to attract new business. A project of this nature has the ability to change the mindset and economy of a small town, and will hopefully lead to a revitalization of the entire heart of Lancaster, its town square.
