Grand Theatre, Historic theatre in Salem, United States.

The Grand Theatre is a 1900 lodge hall and opera house in Salem designed by the firm Pugh & Gray for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, part of the Chemeketa Lodge No. 1 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has main floor and balcony seating, now 402 seats in 15 main-floor rows and 5 balcony rows, and the complex also holds retail businesses, offices and a ballroom.

This building was designed by architect Walter D. Pugh and constructed in 1900, earning a place on the National Register of Historic Places. It has undergone multiple renovations over the years while keeping its original character intact.

The Odd Fellows built it in 1900 as a lodge hall and opera house; the Julius Grau Opera Company performed at the opening on November 29, 1900. Enlightened Theatrics staged Broadway-style shows here until 2023, and To The Ceiling Entertainment now runs it as a multi-use performing arts venue.

The theatre occupies the 1900 Odd Fellows lodge building, with the 1921 annex next door; the main floor holds 15 rows and 288 seats, the balcony 5 rows and 114. Seating was cut from 744 seats listed in 1947 to 402 today, so balcony places sit further from the stage. The buildings now mix retail, offices and a rentable ballroom with the performance venue.

The 1947 Film Daily Yearbook listed 744 seats; today the theatre holds 402, with 288 on the main floor in 15 rows and 114 in the balcony across 5 rows. The building was erected in 1900 as a lodge hall and opera house for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Julius Grau Opera Company performed at its opening on November 29, 1900.
