Brown Grand Theatre, Opera house in Concordia, United States
The Brown Grand Theatre is a three-story opera house built of brick in Renaissance Revival style, standing prominently in downtown Concordia. The building combines ornamental architectural details with functional performance spaces for theatrical and musical events.
A local entrepreneur commissioned the building in 1905, hiring a prominent architect to design it, with completion in 1907. The construction reflected the town's growth and economic prosperity during the early 1900s.
The theatre serves as a performing arts center where the community gathers for shows, concerts, and cultural events throughout the year. It remains a place where people come together to experience live entertainment and artistic expression.
The theatre offers tours by appointment, typically available on weekdays. Visitors should contact ahead to arrange a convenient time for a guided visit.
The theatre once displayed a famous painted curtain on its stage that was destroyed during a tornado in 1967. The loss prompted the creation of a replacement that reflects the building's heritage.
