The Grand staff and board, under the Executive and
Programmatic leadership of Mark Fields and Stephen Bailey, is excited to
announce that the performance arts company has set a one-day ticket sale
record, selling over 6,000 tickets on Monday, October 9, 2017.
“We are bowled away by these results,” says Mark Fields, “it
is another example of how The Grand’s quality programming has attracted new and
returning patrons to this beautiful building.”
Currently, The Grand has over 70 shows on sale, ranging from
America’s Got Talent finalist TAPE FACE (10/14), to long-time comedy icon
SINBAD (12/15), music mavens STRAIGHT NO CHASER (11/29), and Broadway’s finest
like THE WIZARD OF OZ (11/14-11/19) and MOTOWN (5/1-5/6).
“I highly encourage you to look at our new and improved
website at TheGrandWilmington.org to see all of our offerings this season!”
says Fields. “The Grand’s website, newly launched on October 1, is much faster
and user-friendly than our previous. It
is mobile friendly, removing the need for our Grand Smart Phone App, and it
provides search capabilities never before offered to our patrons. Even better – it combines the two separate
sites that were previously The Grand and the Playhouse – providing patrons the
ability to buy tickets across our Music & Variety and Broadway series.”
Tickets can be purchased online at TheGrandWilmington.org,
by phone at 302.652.5577 or by visiting The Grand’s Box Office at 818 North
Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware.
