Grand OnStage returns with performance by Steven Page
The Kingston Grand Theatre will be holding the first Grand OnStage presentation since March 2020 early next month. Award-winning singer/songwriter Steven Page will be live on stage for a performance beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021.
As part of a phased re-opening plan, the audience capacity for this performance will be reduced, with a limited number of in-person tickets available for purchase in order to allow for some physical distancing, according to a release from the City of Kingston. The concert will also be available for streaming live online from the comfort of home.
“This is an exciting milestone for the Grand OnStage program, as we safely and cautiously return to live performance,” said Jayson Duggan, Performing Arts Manager, City of Kingston. “It’s been far too long since we’ve been able to gather together in celebration of the performing arts, and I look forward to welcoming our community back inside the Grand Theatre, whether it be in person or virtually on November 4.”
Tickets for Steven Page, for either the in-person or live-streamed event, are available through the Kingston Grand Theatre website: https://www.kingstongrand.ca/events/steven-page. Other in-person Grand OnStage performances will be announced later this year, looking towards the presentation of a dynamic season of full capacity performances in 2022, according to the release.
