What a doozy of a theatre showcase for the upcoming year.

London, Ontario’s Grand Theatre has just announced its 2025/2026 slate of productions and directors.
It’s cause for celebration to bring people to the Grand and to see these shows.

The Grand calls itself: World Curious, London Proud.

I believe this season will live up to that label.

In the heart of downtown London, Ontario lies one of Canada’s oldest regional theatres and a leading cultural hub of today: the Grand Theatre. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Rachel Peake, and Executive Director Lyndee Hansen, the Grand proudly brings diverse, relevant, and original stories from around the globe – and around the corner – to London and the Southwestern Ontario region. The not-for-profit, charitable arts organization is committed to developing, producing, and premiering original stories through its COMPASS New Play Development program. The Grand is also a centre for arts education, as demonstrated through our flagship program, the annual High School Project, through apprenticeships and placements, and by bringing students to subsidized student matinees.
