The Grand is a vibrant community-assembly resource for all residents of Macon – Bibb County, as well as a draw for cultural tourism that can significantly impact the success of Macon’s downtown and corresponding economic vitality.
It is our mission to nurture an appreciation of the Arts in all citizens of Central Georgia, especially its youngest citizens, through attracting the presentation of quality productions as well as an immersion into a treasured architectural artifact that reflects 116 years of Macon’s history.
And finally, as a performing arts center of Mercer University, the Grand Opera House seeks to champion excellence in all its departments, inclusive of personnel, business practices, and financial outcomes, in order to provide outstanding opportunities and customer service to patrons, user groups, and visiting artists.
Please consider making a gift today to support the Grand Opera House during Orange & Black Give Back.
