The performance is scheduled to take place at the Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 27, 2026. Originally constructed as a silent film house in 1911, the Wealthy Theatre underwent significant renovations in the early 1990s following a period of decline. These renovations restored many of its original architectural details while updating its functionality as a performing arts venue.

Today, the Wealthy Theatre operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting a diverse range of programming including concerts, films, and community events. It’s known for its ornate interior featuring detailed plasterwork and a proscenium arch stage. The theatre is a significant landmark within the Eastown neighborhood of Grand Rapids and serves as an anchor for local arts and culture.
