Membership in the Producer Circle at The Grand Opera House starts with a $500 donation and includes invitations to attend special Producer Circle events not typically open to the general public.
During the 2011-12 Season we have put together a total of seven opportunities for Producer Circle members to get more involved with The Grand. Those joining at the Louis Kindt level ($500-$999) will be invited to three special events. In October, you'll experience an unique side of The Grand as you enjoy a Haunted Happy Hour complete with a reception in the Grand Lounge and a "tour" of the theater lead by the "Spirits of the Grand." In November, we'll host a wine-tasting with classical guitarist Robert Bluestone who will be in Oshkosh for a week-long residency "The Arts: The Other Basic Human Need." And you'll be invited to attend a special sneak preview night for next season where you'll be the first to know who is performing at The Grand. Members at the J. Frank Waldo Level ($1,000 - $2,400) will also enjoy a holiday party surrounding the movie "Miracle on 34th Street" on December 15; a magical reception with Bill Blagg between his April 21 performances; and an Improv Theater Workshop with the stars of the Oshkosh Community Players show "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Abridged" in March 2012.
We're also planning a Road Trip for Producer Circle members, where we'll get a behind the scenes look at another theatre in Wisconsin and attend a performance (details will be announced in the coming weeks - there will be an additional charge for this event).
This program not only helps to raise the necessary funds to sustain the operation of The Grand, it also provides a unique opportunity to experience Wisconsin's oldest operating theatre building that are not normally available to the general public.
We hope you'll consider becoming a Producer Circle member. For more information, contact The Grand administrative office at (920) 424-2355.
* Producer Circle event schedule will be released in the fall of 2011.
