Opening in 1901, this theatre replaced the Grand Opera House which had been destroyed by fire the year previous. It was operated by Ambrose Small until he disappeared mysteriously in 1919. To this day, the theatre is said to be haunted by his ghost. Over the years, the Grand Theatre has been under the management of many different companies. Notable Artistic directors include William Hutt, Larry Lillo, Martha Henry, Michael Shamata and Susan Ferley. The Theatre is still in operation today and is under the direction of Dennis Garnhum.
