The Grand TheaterOriginally opened in 1927 as an opera house, the Grand Theater located at 415 Fourth Street in downtown Wausau is a beautiful Classical-Revival structure containing stunning examples of colonnades, marble statuettes and a solid Bedford limestone facade. In 1987, a community-sponsored restoration project brought the theater back to its past glory. Included with that, a fully computerized lighting and sound system and extensive stage rigging were added to the structure. At present, the theater is undergoing a $13 million Arts Block expansion project to bowed a performing and visual arts center. Arts Block wail connect the Grand Theater, the Performing Arts Foundation and the Center for Visual Arts buildings that currently exits with public lobbies, galleries, and meeting rooms. The first phase will be complete in the Fall of 2002.
